27
Thursday, May 31st, 2007
I’m officially in my semi-late 20’s. I have to be careful not to turn into that comic strip persona, Cathy (ACK!) As a birthday gift for myself, I took a break from reading Crush the Boards (“you should not only pass USMLE Step 2, you must crush it!”) and read Charmed Thirds on my birthday. It’s the latest installment of the Jessica Darling series by author Megan McCafferty. I’ve then realized that you can be a happy malcontent. You just have to accept that living is not easy and searching for that great, sweeping feeling of happiness in life will only lead to much pain. Ergo, I’ve learned to just be joyful in the moment. I’ve lead a semi-charmed life and I’m thankful for the countless charmed moments I’ve experienced. As a 27-year old with no prospects (how Lizzie Bennett of me!) and with a net worth of negative three thousand dollars, I will take pleasure in the little marvels of my existence.
