This post is something that's very close to my heart; something that I think everyday, all the time. Something that I have a tendency to live by, even if it gets me nowhere.
Why don't we sing loudly, mindless of how we sound? Why can't we just sing because it feels good to let out what's in the heart? Why don't apply nailpolish for the love of painting, watching the colours smoothen out on a nail, spread evenly into perfection? Why can't we dance because our body yearns to be free, rather than for  performance and appreciation? Why don't we paint what our mind leads us to, why do we always get so caught up in making a masterpiece? Why does the finish line of everything always have to be in mind while on the journey? I wish I could learn only the parts of medicine that interest me and let the rest go. I wish i didn't have to learn things by heart and make an effort to remember them; I wish I didn't worry about the exam when I study. I wish I didn't have to make excuses for my exam scores, like they're a measure of my intelligence. I wish I could visit a beautiful place and bask in the glory of it's scenic charm, without being troubled by ideas of how I could pose to get a perfect picture. I wish we did things for ourselves.
I wish what mattered more than the result was intent and interest.
