I imagine the idea of a normal college experience was all you wanted, too.

You get what you get.

On her advice to new grads:Decide what is yours to hold, and let the rest go.

Often times, the good things in your life are lighter anyway so theres more room for them.

One toxic relationship can outweigh so many wonderful, simply joys.

You get to pick what your life has time and room for.

On questionable choices:Learn to live alongside cringe.

Cringe is unavoidable over a lifetime … you cant avoid it, so dont attempt to.

On trying hard:Effortlessness is a myth.

The people who want it the most, are the people I now hire to work for my company.

But it taught me to protect my private life fiercely.

On new perspective:Losing things doesnt just mean losing.

A lot of the time, when we lose things, we gain things, too.

On moving forward:Hard things will happen to us.

We will recover, we will learn from it, we will grow more resilient because of it.

And I am a doctor now, so I know how breathing works.
