I wanted to be a doctor so bad. When I was in Primary School, whenever anyone asked me what I want to be when I grow up...all I can think of is to be a doctor. A Pediatrician. Why am I recalling my childhood dream? Well, one thing though, I am now stucked with the most exciting TV Series in the whole wide world. I know it's cliche, but really for me it is the greatest TV show in the whole wide world (now I sound like a groupie). I am hooked with Grey's Anatomy. I have been following this show ever since it started-- cable or without cable tv. Now I am obsessed with it. Not only the characters but the procedure they are doing to patients and I could go on and forth about how good it is...but it is! It's amazing!
Last week's episodes was great! Kristina Yang and Meredith Grey learned that they have to grow up apart from each other. They are each others person and to be separated from your person just to let each one fulfill their dreams...it's unconditional love. They are the best of friends. And I am in awe of their friendship. I remember saying that I am a bit of Kristina and a bit of Meredith. I am a mixture of both characters. But now I truly know who Kristina Yang and Meredith Grey for me really is. It is an unconditional love and friendship that both Mom and I have. We love each other and we show it different from how others show their love. We fight...but intellectually. I recall one fight we had about what I want to become. She honestly told me that she can't afford to support me financially if I go be a doctor. I was devastated. And in my years of being weak and a pain in the ass...I rebelled and guess what? When I was confronted, I instead asked her a lame rhetorical question.. I asked her if she let me pursue my dreams to be a doctor, the schools that I went to, the courses that I enrolled at...and the money spent would've had made me a doctor by now? This was when I was full of shit. Shitty things in my head and baggage scattered in every corner of my cell. Hahahaha! Now, I just remember her saying..."That is not fair, Majal." Yes! I was not fair to her at all and I am sorry. She forgave me and I forgave her. Typical, Kristina and Meredith scene. Bestfriends for life.
Let's go back to our love and friendship...we loved each other dearly that nobody understands and let me tell that I love medicine and its intricate weave of saving lives. Huh! Now that's poetic. I am passionate about writing too...and watching movies and series that lift my spirit. And I think my spirit is being lifted right now as I am writing like a maniac. I find it exciting that I can write passionately now because I have seen a delectable series and remember delightful memory about Mom.
This is just me Loving medicine, Loving Mom and missing her so badly. Her birthday is coming up soon and she would've loved to read this. And she'll say: "Great work." "You write well." "You have an amazing imagination, I wonder where you got it." Funny Mom...just don't be so humble...I'd say, I got it from you.
