friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
What I’d Tell My Younger Self
This is my entry into Rick Henry Christopher’s Unofficial Challenge: The Self-Appreciation Challenge. Back in 1996, an awkward teenage Sandy was hanging out with her so-called friends at school. One friend was talking about the house party they were throwing over the weekend. This was the first Sandy had heard about it, but the friend said everyone present was invited. How exciting, her first house party invite!

In The Quiet Of Us
In the Quiet of Us Rain tapped gently on the roof of their small, one-bedroom apartment as Clara and Eli sat curled together on the sofa, two steaming mugs between them and an open window letting in the early autumn air. They had been married for three months—twelve weeks of small joys, occasional arguments, and shared dreams beginning to take shape like brushstrokes on a blank canvas.

She Just Wanted to Be Remembered
It was a cold winter morning when I entered the emergency room, not expecting anything out of the ordinary. The air smelled of disinfectant, machines beeped rhythmically, and the usual silence was broken only by hurried footsteps and soft whispers of nurses exchanging reports. As a doctor, you learn to carry your emotions in your pocket — only pulling them out when absolutely necessary. That day, I didn’t know I’d be forced to empty my entire heart. She was brought in on a stretcher — frail, trembling, barely conscious. Her name was Samra. Twenty-six years old. An elementary school teacher. Diagnosed months ago with a tumor pressing dangerously against her spine. Her file had gone through multiple hands. She had no family left, no husband, no parents — only a neighbor who had found her fainted on the floor of her one-room apartment and called an ambulance. I reviewed her case quietly, but something made me linger a little longer than usual. Maybe it was the photograph tucked inside her file — a picture of her standing with a group of children, all of them smiling widely. Or maybe it was her eyes — hollow, yet strangely full of something unspoken. Pain, maybe. Or hope. She had already gone through two surgeries, both unsuccessful. The tumor had grown aggressive, wrapping itself around the nerves. Her lower body was now paralyzed. She hadn’t walked in over three months. The medical board had labeled her case as palliative. That meant: no more interventions, just comfort until the inevitable happened. But I couldn’t walk away. When I spoke to her for the first time, she didn’t ask about procedures or medicines. She asked me something I wasn’t ready for. “Do you think I was a good teacher?” I paused. I had no way of knowing. “Why do you ask?” She smiled weakly. “I just don’t want to be forgotten.” Those words stayed with me. Over the next few days, I visited her more often than necessary. She didn’t have many visitors. A couple of her old students came by once, bringing flowers and little hand-written notes. I saw her cry quietly after they left, hiding her face in her pillow. Her health began to decline, but her spirit didn’t. She asked me about my journey. She asked how I deal with failure, with fear. I told her the truth — that we doctors aren’t superheroes. We hurt. We break. We carry the weight of lives we couldn’t save. One evening, while checking her charts, I mentioned a clinical trial happening abroad — a new experimental procedure using targeted electrical impulses to stimulate nerve regeneration. It was still in its early stages. She laughed softly and said, “Sounds like science fiction.” But I could see the flicker in her eyes. She wanted to try. Even if the odds were thin. I made some calls. Wrote letters. Sent medical histories. I didn’t tell her everything — not until we got the approval. She was eligible. The cost was overwhelming, but I couldn’t give up. I contacted old colleagues, organizations, anyone who owed me a favor. And then, a miracle happened. An anonymous donor agreed to cover the costs. I still don’t know who it was. Sometimes, the universe answers prayers we haven’t even said out loud. https://ideogram.ai/g/q4233uT6TYOt7RAlbCMxQA/3 The hospital arranged her transport, and I went with her. Not as a doctor. As a human being who had silently begun to care far more than I should have. The procedure was long. Complicated. Painful. There were moments when her body rejected the treatment, when the fever rose, when her lungs struggled. But she kept looking at me with the same question in her eyes — “Will I walk again?” Weeks passed.

When the Whole World Feels Like It's Against You
Home doesn't feel like home anymore. Conversations with family turn into battles. The people I thought would never leave now feel like strangers. Even my friends, the ones who once saw my soul, seem to avoid my eyes. I keep wondering: Is it me? Am I the reason they’re pulling away?And then comes the most painful part — when someone says, “Everyone goes through this,” or “You’re not the only one.” Maybe they mean well. But those words don’t comfort me. They silence me. Because I don’t want my pain to be compared or minimized. I want it to be seen. I want someone to say, “Yes, this hurts — and I’m here with you.”So if you’re like me — feeling like you're shouting into a void, like your soul is bruised and tired — I want you to know something:What you feel is real. It is valid. And you are not weak for feeling it.
