A break from everyday life is just what you are in need of, desperately.
Second year of medical school, a part-time job afterwards, and family stress to top it – you only had two days of break from the strain… barely. The weekend would never be enough time to unwind. Inevitably, you were starting to burn out of everything without realizing it.
Thankfully, you achieved freedom at last. You finally reached winter break and were gifted three weeks off before returning to the daily hell. All you had to do was focus on work, yourself, and your family. Reading manga, watching anime and other TV shows, playing video games, road trips with friends, painting, but most importantly… sleeping in.
You don’t have the most exciting life, in your opinion. You sleep, die at school, die at work, visit your mother who has Alzheimer’s whenever possible, then repeat. On Friday nights, you’re at home instead of clubbing with some of your friends. Living in your own cozy and neat apartment in a semi-safe location within Los Angeles, one bedroom and one bath, life felt normal. You didn’t mind living alone. In fact, you enjoyed it.
