Dark and twisty

People say that the FYP is an emotional rollercoaster and I think I've caught my glimpse of the safety belt in my carriage - halfway up the loop-the-loop. It's scary sometimes because they think they've got you all figured out.

Were we dreamers, to expect things to always go our way? What do you say when you are put between harmony and fairness - and have to choose. I think we were close to crossing the line today. Maybe we should have? Would it have mattered? We will never know.

Which is why we need to constantly remind ourselves that this campaign we are kick-starting will make a difference to someone, somewhere. That we are exactly like the interns in Grey's, who have just witnessed the beauty of life and have allowed the magic of that moment soothe the pain; if only temporarily.

Let us not be like George in season 4, for whom the birth of new babies becomes trivial, but always remember that we can choose to grab on to the coattails of the magical moment. We've made a difference.

For reference to what we should never become:
