My Lock Stock Movie
Since I arrived in Darwin, my life has begun to feel like Guy Ritchie's "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" movie. It's not as though my life is in chaos but the spin I had weaved into it by doing nursing had left a daily taste of anxiety. I have met more people in my four months in Darwin than anywhere else I have been. Nursing life has brought me in contact with new friends as patients, doctors, nurses and other health professionals. Although a bit overwhelming at first (particularly in remembering names), I have developed a sensation that all the lives that have intersected and diverged from mine were meant to be and are contributing to something bigger and very sensible in their lives and in mine. It's a comforting feeling to know that lives (especially mine) are leading somewhere. Thank you to everyone I met (now and in the past) for giving me so much meaning in my life!
