Nursing school is hard! ( and that’s with a capital D, hard!)
It will challenge you mentally, emotionally, physically, and sometimes spiritually.
And as of late, I’m very intentional about who has access to me.
If the people in your life are making an already difficult season even harder instead of supporting you through it, you may need to start cutting some strings ✂️🧵
And that goes for anyone.
I just told a friend the other day that I’ll probably be an absent friend over these next 4 semesters {meaning}, you probably won’t hear from me first. You will have to check on me.
And to know me, you have to know that I am that friend that always checks in on her friends.
I’m always present. But in this season, I’m going to need you to be present for me, as I have been for you. I’m going to need you to check in on me, as I have always checked in on you.
But again, if you know me, then you know that no matter what, I’m never that far away, and I’ll do my best to show up for you, no matter what season I’m in.
And a huge shout out to the tribe of friends that I am building/have built since being in Augusta. You guys have shown up for me, helped me, given me resources, and sent me random texts of encouragement throughout the day. Thanks for the phone calls, the check-ins, and especially the prayers. I truly need them.
Nursing school is hard enough. I refuse to carry unnecessary weight while I’m already carrying this much.
Some seasons require support.
Some require sacrifice.
And some require separation.
And I have yet to thank you all for supporting our back-to-school community initiative! A proper thank you is coming, I promise! 🤞🏾
