This makes my heart go “AH”

“I’ve been so young for so long and so old for longer – so heart wrinkled and naive all at once”

Coming at you with some poor quality, goofy iPhone pics to remind you that IT’S NOT TOO LATE to get your flu shot! (Even if you just haven’t gotten around to it yet because you’re busy.. it happens! Exhibit A right here.) That’t right folks, if you don’t know where to go, message me and I will do the work for you and find the nearest provider near you. I got my flu shot for my 93 yr old Opa, your grandparents, my mom, your dad with a compromised immune system, the elderly women I’m going to share space with on the bus, my patients, my friend’s newborn, the list goes on. If you are able, which for various reasons - certain people are not. It might not be a bad idea to consider it! It's free!! If you wanna chat about how vaccines work, like the flu shot, my inbox is open! (Seriously, I used know very little about vaccines until I entered the health care world and had access to that education/understanding) It's really interesting stuff, blows my mind a bit. #scienceiscool #publichealth #allourhealth #flushot #hamont #nursing #ONHealth #vaccineswork #vaccinescauseadults #flufighter

Spotted: a huge helping of REAL in the St.Joseph's hospital bathroom. Good work.

2019 update: you'll be seeing a lot more scanned writing and a lot less typing on here. Back pain sucks, and it means that typing is very painful right now. But, in the name of doing what you love in the situation you're given, this will have to be the solution. Here's what that's gonna look like: unedited, spelling mistakes, pretty and not so pretty writing, a bit more messy, a whole lot more emotional/ vulnerable/ RAW. In these books I write down what I'm feeling in THAT moment. Sometimes these feelings change and take me somewhere, sometimes they are everlasting. Either way they are my heart on a page. Please remember that when you read them. So maybe 2019 just wants to see me in more pain, maybe it's pushing my writing in the direction of a more authentic, true version of how I express myself. Maybe. Either way I'll take the latter. I present you @withlovekolina #unedited.

Today I walked past a woman hanging scarves, hats and mitts by the Christmas tree in gore park. She told me she's been doing this for years. "I don't need them, someone else does". Simple things. So important. This is making my hardcore contemplate my excess. My extra. My want but not need. My double. My "just in case". My haves, while others have not. It's everywhere. My privilege is hidden in "junk drawers" and in the back of my closet. I'm wearing it on my back and carrying it in my pack.

⚡️💛✨ these words hit me right in the heart and sent a shock right through me ⚡️ 💛✨
