Thoughts and Things

It’s interesting being on an adolescent psych unit. It’s also really sad that so few of these kids had the chance to just be kids. So many broken homes, incarcerated parents, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, suicidal/homicidal ideation, psychotic episodes, etc. And I actually find it all fascinating. Part of me wants to reach out to these kids in the long run.. and yet I can’t quite see myself fitting in with the eclectic mix of potential future colleagues. I’m quirky, but I don’t think I’m that quirky. Hm..
