Just a little doctor

They called me a dreamer like it was a bad thing, until my dreams started to come true.

“I stopped explaining myself when I realized people only understand from their level of perception.”

“And remember, that feeling in your chest that you’re something more than just alive, is what will carry you on through today and even tomorrow. And remember you are someone and you are more than just anyone.”

The woman you are becoming will cost you people, relationships, spaces, and material things. Choose her over everything.

“Quiet, yet wild. Rough, and yet gentle,”

“It is the useless things that make life worth living and that make life dangerous too: wine, love, art, beauty. Without them life is safe, but not worth bothering with.”

“Make an effort to show [your parents] how happy you are if you can’t do what they expect of you, and maybe they’ll remember that that’s all they wanted from you.”

“I love science, and it pains me to think that so many are terrified of the subject or feel that choosing science means you cannot also choose compassion, or the arts, or be awed by nature. Science is not meant to cure us of mystery, but to reinvent and reinvigorate it.”
