Hi everyone, it’s been a long time and I know. Life springs back and forth heartaches when it chooses to make us adults.

I mean, I didn’t beg for this, you sprung it at me, and now you’re punishing me for accepting your decision? Life’s quite unfair to humans.

It’s quite surprising that I’m writing on this topic, but the fact that for some weeks now, I’ve been battling brutally with my health, I’m goaded to write this article. It’s been so life battling that, as a non-medical “student”, I’ve familiarised with so many medical terms. I’m not complaining about expanding my knowledge on such field, though. I like the idea of being medically knowledgeable, I mean versatility is sexy so why not?
