I don’t even remember your name.  You probably have no idea who I am.  I saw a comment you made in a group we are both a part of, but I want you to know you’re my hero. I know you’re probably feeling a little down.  That your two years spent in nursing school was all a waste.

 Society is looking down on you for being a “drop out,” and you may be a little angry at the fact you were put in a position to do what’s right, instead of what society calls “the norm.”

You see, it takes tremendous guts to do what you did.  You refused to jeopardize your health, morals, and humanity to provide financial abundance for yourself.  You chose to go against the “mainstream” narrative and think for yourself.  You chose to listen to your gut and research things on your own instead of being force-fed the “truth” and swallowing it without question.  

We live in a society with institutions teaching our youth how to be obedient, respect authority, accept the government stamp of approval limited knowledge, and accept it as fact.  Critical thinking and individuality are frowned upon.  Those that cannot be easily controlled are ridiculed.  Corporations who make products that harm people pay a lot of money to have others harass you, ridicule you, and deem you mentally unstable.  

Yet you pushed through.  You thought for yourself.  You followed your intuition. You did your own research. You are showing the world that it does not take a piece of paper from an institution to be able to understand certain things.  

You are setting a very much needed example.  So keep your head held high.  Souls such as yourself are going to change this paradigm.  You don’t need to go to nursing school to learn how to be a healer.  You already are.  

I just wanted you to know you’re my hero.  Keep shining that light.
