When in pain, your career won't take care of you.
Spare some time for family and friends.
I'm only just an intern now and the only thing I do at home is sleep.
I spend the entire day at the office and my mind just stops working when I'm home. I eat and go to bed.
It's been long since I had a good chat with my parents and brothers.
I didn't realize my mother was alone at home all day (dads not in town).
I didn't know my neighbours had changed.
I didn't know that the stray dog that always kept barking had died.
I barely kept track of dates I forgot to wish my friends and cousins on their birthdays.
I didn't know my friend got married until I saw her post on Facebook.
I couldn't recognize my friend's voice on the phone because we talked after six years.
I didn't take care of myself and ended up falling sick so very often.
I don't still know a lot of things. But I know I have to. My career is only a part of life, it isn't my life.
