Leaking your private chat with someone online because you're having a misunderstanding with them have to be the most childish thing ever. Most immature thing ever.

@Seanmean01 Congratulations David 🎊

From sketches in my notebooks to the big stage! 🎨🩺 So happy to share that my anatomy-inspired piece is finally finished and even won an award at our medical school’s talent display. Beyond grateful for the recognition at the Jonathan Louw Design Awards. #SüperLig #19aprile2026

Midnight drawing sessions after 12-hour study days. Textbooks don’t show the soul… so I draw it myself. This is how I stay human in medicine. 🫀 Anyone else create to survive med school?

3 AM post-study session. 🥱 Brain is full of pharmacology, so I’m letting my hand do the talking. What do you see in this piece? 🫀🌿

Sometimes the textbooks feel too cold. In med school, we learn the mechanics of the body,the origins, the insertions, the nerves. But when I pick up a pencil, I’m trying to find the soul in it. This piece is my way of reminding myself that we are more than just machines; 🌿🫀

@AhsaaanAhmad Hi @Ahsaaan, Congratulations on completing the first step, I would advice you focus on impactful contribution when accepted that would give you an edge when applying for the final stage.

@xenacod Hi ERIK, I recently applied for the Outreachy internship and was wondering if you could share some guidance about the process. I would really appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you!

@___dontstressme Your life, lmao 🤣

weytin be this ? 😭

You can’t change someone. But you will anyway. Not through arguments or ultimatums or that thing you do where you get really quiet and hope they’ll notice you’re upset. (They never do, by the way. They just think you’re tired.) You’ll change them the way water changes stone, by being around them long enough that they start to see themselves through your eyes. I dated someone who interrupted everyone. Constantly. Mid-sentence, mid-thought, didn’t matter. It drove me insane for months. Then one night at dinner with friends, I watched her do it again, and this time she caught herself. She looked at me, then back at the person she’d cut off, and said, “Sorry, keep going.” Nobody else even noticed. But I knew: she’d started hearing herself the way I heard her. That’s the thing they don’t mention when they say “accept people as they are.” You do accept them. And then they feel that acceptance so deeply that they finally have enough safety to look at the parts of themselves they’ve been running from their whole lives. Not because you demanded it. Because you made space for it. But here’s the trap: if you’re asking “can I change her” with a specific outcome in mind, you’ve already lost. You’re not in a relationship anymore. You’re in a renovation project. And people can smell that a mile away. They can feel when your love has conditions attached. It makes them smaller, more defended, and less likely to grow into anything you’d actually want. Honestly, it usually just makes them better at hiding. The real question isn’t whether you can change someone. It’s whether you can love someone enough that they feel free to change themselves. And whether the direction they’re growing is toward you or away from you. Sometimes you date someone, and she becomes kinder, more thoughtful, and more herself. Sometimes she becomes exactly who she’s always been, just louder. And sometimes, this is the one that hurts; she grows into someone beautiful. Just not someone beautiful for you. You can’t control which one happens. You can only decide how long you’re willing to wait to find out.

You relax in a bus when you don’t personally know the driver. You relax in a plane when you don’t personally know the pilot. You relax in a ship when you don’t personally know the captain. In the same way, no matter how tough life gets, please relax because you personally know the God who is in control and in charge. No matter how tough life gets. Always remember this.

@KingAhmed0x_ @_ellaru This!

@_ellaru Grind how you think it's best, no rules to the game

Life is so unpredictable. If she had asked the best minds in the world for a business idea or strategy, no one would have asked her to stand on the road and make videos of buses with her face. The race isn’t to the swift. Time and chance 🤲🏾
