I don't feel comfortable in my skin
I don't feel comfortable in my skin, even when I'm resting from my exhaustion. I feel very uncomfortable, as a doctor living and surviving the unsurvivable, having to be a beacon of hope for literally everyone, and the heavy weight of that burden.

I need to share this before I die, I need to scream it out before it's too late for all of us.
