It would surprise most people that I also work in the nursing field and actually it is surprising even to myself. But, before my Mum died she made me promise I would return to school before pursuing anything in the arts; she always said it was a good idea especially for me because music in many ways can still write, produce etc but with dancing we're somewhat limited to an extent. I also think she wanted me to learn from her own life because after music for my Mum it was always what is next out of life? I don't think she regretted anything in her life but there were moments often wondered if she did at some point; my Mum did attend college but she studies arts, music etc nothing else that as in the "real world" would suffice to make a "living". In the end we were okay, and material possessions weren't always the main thing at least not for us and life was all right that way.
Even though my brother had an amazing career as a professional musician...believe it or not he still maintained his "regular" job as a systems analyst. In other ways as well, I think it helped keep us all humble and I know and realise now that with nursing it has done that and in many ways I feel I need this to help keep me grounded and in the irony sane.
I came to the "calling" for nursing due to the fact I love helping people in general; making them smile and giving them comfort has been the greatest joy for me bottom line...I am happiest when I am giving in some sort of way, and it helps me feel as I am making a difference in this world even though it is small but to one person it is more than enough.
Through nursing I have met some of the most bravest and strong individuals and they all have touched me in some way or another and will never forget them. They always say you must be the change you hope to see in the world and hope to contribute to that in some way or another.
Giving is the greatest of joys on this Earth and it is making life better for another person. I think as a society we become so wrapped up in social media, ourselves, problems that we forget to look at the world around us and see that there are people who are truly suffering, who don't have the very things we take for granted every single day. And it is the one reason I don't think I could ever fully give up nursing no matter how far dancing and performing may take me in this life.
So always try to be good and kind to one another, life is too precious to be negative try to spread as much positivity as possible. This world needs it so much. Always giveback.
much love
Natalie
