Six Degree's

This concept has always fascinated and intrigued me. I find it insanely beautiful that we can connect with others so easily, that we are all so close and interwoven, despite speaking several hundred different languages and living several thousands of miles apart. What i find even better is when this concept is illustrated to me, and it usually happens via the medium of facebook.

I spoke to this girl, at the Christmas Dinner [what tried to be a posh event but what actually just flopped like a bitch] who was waitressing there. I spoke to her because i thought she was gorgeous. And then i never spoke to her again, but i was convinced of the fact that it would be possible, despite having no contact details of hers, to eventually meet again. What happens? Facebook, my dearest friend. She was tagged in an album that appeared on my stalker feed.

I think i am such a gay sometimes. I love beautiful things. But i hate writing the word beautiful. Everytime i do, without fail, i always sound out "B-E-A-U" in my head as i've never been able to spell it. I absolutely adore life. It is the most amazing, complex, mind boggling concept and i feel honoured that my brain can even contemplate just the smallest fraction of information needed for its understanding. It is fascinating. On every level; from the atomic -our DNA and the atoms from which it is comprised- to the social and psychological. It is genuinely miraculous.

I am thankful to be alive, and that didn't used to be the case. I'm profoundly greatful for the chance to learn the skills required to be a Doctor. And i will not waste it, or treat it with any less of the kilo's of respect it deserves.
