I get a warm, tingling feeling when I write. Is this sensation love or an unknown medical condition? I was a blogger before I became a medical student. Sooo, I've combined my passions for Medicine and Writing to create MABS blog. This blog is my way of cultivating my creative side and reaching out to people who need simple solutions for common medical problems. To be a blogger, one needs to read more, be knowledgeable, and, most importantly, be true to oneself. I read many self-development books coupled with gruesome hours of studying in medical schools. Furthermore, I try to be true to myself, forgive myself, and forgive those who have hurt me so I can be deserving of forgiveness from those I hurt. My truth is that no one is perfect, but people can at least try to improve every day. I see this blog reaching tons of people, making an impact, and at least leaving a smile on my reader's faces. I love you in every way that manifests. Thank you for reading my blog, and I hope you learn something new.
