AFTERWORD

I sit here writing this journey’s last few words. It’s bittersweet really. It truly feels like the end of an era. An era full of highs and lows, ups and downs, happiness and sadness, but most of all, love, adventure and wisdom.

These five years have changed me in more ways than one. So much so that I feel like I can barely recognise the person who started this journey. Who I am today is something I never even saw coming. I started off as this dull, boring kid who only cared about one thing – medicine. Now? Now I’m this badass, bisexual hunk who likes to trek over mountains and hike across jungles when he’s not too busy studying medicine. And I’m also a doctor – how cool am I, huh?

Well, those five years are over now. But I don’t feel finished. I feel excited. I’m excited about the challenges that await me. I’m excited to start the second part of my journey to become a surgeon. But most of all, I’m excited about everything that’s in store for me. The next part of my life. To more love. To more adventure. To more wisdom. A bright promise waiting to unfold…
