Hi everyone or whoever may be reading (if anyone!),

So I am taking a leap in the dark and restarting my blog that I created at the age of 23 when I was a medical student at the University of Liverpool in 2016. Fast forward a few years and I am now the numbers reversed in age (gosh I feel old) and a qualified doctor- General Practitioner to be precise. Please don’t queue up to hate me.

I have just returned from having a skincare package done and whilst I was there I had a bit of an epiphany. Laying on this couch in an area in West Yorkshire, with my eyes closed trying to relax I thought let’s create a blog. I have actually blogged, journaled and wrote in a diary my entire life- although half of these rambles (as I call them), are not to be shared with the public. Fast forward an hour and I am home in the comfort of my room logged into wordpress. I actually had thought of a very apt name for my blog. However, when it came to logging in, my email was actually connected to this blog from 2016. It was a nice surprise to rediscover ‘blissfully Amina’ and also maybe I did cringe a bit inside my mind.

Today must have been a day of epiphanies or maybe it was the sleep deprivation of the last few weeks (or months), but whilst I was chatting away to the aesthetician she mentioned the word ‘tolerant’ in a sentence. I am not quite sure why but this word stuck with me. I started thinking in my head ‘tolerant’ or ‘intolerant’ fully well knowing that she had said ‘tolerant’.

And then it all clicked.

Stay tuned till the next time, to find out the story behind ‘intolerant.’

With love,

Amina x
