On my lunch break at the moment( i'm spending all day at the Eating Disorders Clinic at CVH today) and thought this would be the perfect time to finally begin my first entry. My 25th birthday is tomorrow, Alhumdulillah, and since this quarter-century milestone has arrived, I need to make sure my bucket list keeps getting the checks it deserves. I love literature, politics, medicine, theology, art, volunteering, working with marginalized populations and so much more. Medicine takes up most of time at present - but I need a place to consolidate my non-medical interests to stay sane. So this is the perfect cheesy 25th birthday gift to myself :)

Here's to venturing upon new worlds through the minds of incredible poets, authors, revolutionary thinkers and the everyday life lessons I learn from my friends, family, my patients, teachers and my favorite, good Samaritan strangers.
