There is something about the spring...

I finally wrote again today, just tid-bits, let me know what you guys think!

1:~
Draining desire
that unquenchable fire
to grow and to learn
weariness compounded
my spirit hounded
must have more
give me more
for never shall I rest
~
2:~
Our existence and uniqueness
are solely defined
by the continuity of our actions.
Be true to yourself, be consistent, do not be fickle
only then will you exist with uniqueness
~
3:~
We are one, you and I
Defined by the same function
Our difference lies only in the phase, the amplitude
Arched away from this real plane into the imaginary
All we need is a shift of perspective
All it takes is a tilt of the head,
Then you'll see...
We aren't so different, you and me...

1- I have never worked so hard in my life. I feel like I have internalized and been exposed to a torrent of knowledge this year, information that I could only dream of comprehending before. Yet again, as every time where I find myself standing at the ridge of new found knowledge, I see the next valley. I'm so excited :)

2- Its a differential-equations poem... yes yes, nerdy I know, but I have never felt so pure as how I feel when I do math. There is a certain bliss that manifests when I manipulate those numbers, I forget about everything else in the world. I'm not that talented in it either, and often times I struggle to get the correct result, but its the process that fuels my desire.

3- Depending on how you look at it, every linear combination of sin(t) and cos(t) can be represented as one function, Rcos(t-delta). No matter how different people seem to be, its just a matter of squinting hard enough. I don't mean to simplify human beings, I'm just saying that if you make the effort, you can find a way to relate to your fellow citizens of the world.

Life is tough right now, more so than ever before. Worrying about medical school, stressing about lab, and pining to be with my girlfriend... all of these things makes it hard to get out of bed in the morning. But hearing her voice when I wake up, learning something new, and finally understanding what it means to truly work hard makes every day worthwhile :)

I bid your farewell for now, until next time!
