“clenched that we just don’t want to do it any longer. And that is when we have our greatest chances and our greatest choices. We choose, today, to strive toward a full recovery. A full life must inevitably come with its challenges. But it also means a life full of love and loved ones.”

I grew up and I found my purpose and it was to become a physician. My intent wasn’t to save the world as much as to heal myself.

But it can also deepen the wound.”
