I truly admire people who are themselves 100% of the time. You know the type of person who does NOT care what others think about them? The type of person who says, “This is who I am… take it or leave it.” The type of person who always, unapologetically lives their truth.

Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer and East of Eden by John Steinbeck were both novels I could not put down despite having a pile of textbooks to get through during medical school. I also love books by Khalid Hosseini like, And The Mountains Echoed.

I’m Cheating
I have a confession to make. I’m being unfaithful…
