2319: Eb and Flow

“I’ve spent months hesitating over every sentence…until I realized that writing just happens when you begin.”
For far too long, I stalled at the blank page, worried each word wouldn’t capture exactly what I felt. But writing isn’t a flawless product—it’s a process. You start. You discover your story as you go. And suddenly, the words begin to flow.

MEDPREP: Done and Dusted

Over two years, I’ve built—and unbuilt—habits that shape how I learn. Early mornings and late nights became routine as I tackled exams in physiology, biochemistry, and beyond. I learned to be vulnerable—reaching out to classmates and mentors for fresh perspectives and study techniques that challenged my old ways. Most importantly, I discovered that success isn’t solitary: it thrives on teamwork and community, whether in late-night study groups, lab collaborations, or honest brainstorming sessions.

Takeaway: Resilience, adaptability, and collective effort aren’t just study strategies—they’re the foundation I’m carrying forward into every next chapter.

Soundtrack Reflection

Right now, I’m lost in the ebb and flow of “I Lied to You” from The Sinners soundtrack. Its siren-like strings tug at my chest, building a quiet tension that feels both unsettling and electrifying. A single piano note can bring a wave of melancholy, then swell into a heartbeat-fast rhythm that makes me sit forward in my chair. There’s an undercurrent of longing beneath every chord, and when the melody softens, it leaves a space for reflection—like the calm after a storm.

Takeaway: I want my writing to do the same: pull you in, keep you on the edge, then leave you with something to feel long after the last word.

How My Music Taste Evolved

I’ve always loved a commanding groove—think The Isley Brothers’ “Summer Breeze,” whose warm, soulful rendition still carries me back to sun-drenched afternoons. In high school, my playlist veered into rap, R&B, and dubstep, each genre teaching its own narrative rhythm. Lately, though, I find myself returning to ’70s–’90s R&B for its raw warmth and authenticity. Those tracks feel like old friends, each note rich with history and feeling.

Takeaway: Authenticity resonates most—whether in a song or a sentence.

Until week,
