lassitude

what wears me out the most is not the long, grueling hours of standing. it is not the sight of despair, decay, and death lying in the corridors of the hospital wings. it is not the heatwaves and freak thunderstorms of a tropical country that leaves me hot and bothered, or dripping with frustration. it is not even the borderline psychotic tutors that Monash loves to unload on us at times.

nay, what depletes me, physically, mentally and spiritually; is the disappointment i feel in myself every day.
