[footnote from Elizabeth] Mark died this morning at 6:04 a.m. The sun was rising, his favorite time of day. I sent this on so that you might know he was thinking of you all and that he appreciated knowing you would remember him well.

Dear ER Gang, So here I am, out on the beach at 5:30 in the evening. Elizabeth is drinking juice, but I’m all about the Mai Tai’s. The sun is going down, Rachel is dipping Ella’s toes in the ocean as they head off on their quest for the perfect seashell. Weirdly enough, I find myself thinking, you know what would make this moment complete? Some jogger dropping to the sand, short of breath, so I can sweep in with a piece of bamboo to perform a nice, clean intubation, fix the guy up, and send him off with a good, simple dispo. Which I guess is my way of saying I miss you all and that dingy place. Lots of times I thought I should have chosen a different career or go into private practice, something easier, less grinding, more lucrative, but since I’ve been gone, I realize that outside of doing what I’m doing right now, sitting on this beach with my family, staying at County all those years, doing what we do on a daily basis was the best choice I ever made. I know what you’re thinking, but trust me, it’s not hard to appreciate once it’s over. As much as a part of me would like to believe that the ER can’t go on without me, the smarter part realizes that you are an incredible group of doctors and nurses who approach every day with such skill, compassion and thoroughness, that when it comes to patient care, I know my absence will hardly be felt. In order to leave, I had to go the way I did, but I wouldn’t want any of you to think that I didn’t value each of you and the years we worked together, or that I didn’t have things of a more personal nature to say. Most of you, I think, have an idea of what those things might be without me writing them down, but still… Ella is laughing and waving for me. Rachel found her shell. Mark.

does anyone else with intrusive thoughts do that weird dismissive head shake when they get them to kinda like.. reverse/reject the thought or is that just me
Gotta shake your brain like an etch-n-sketch and start over

INTJ thing #16
Noticing literally everything. Like Everything.
And simultaneously noticing nothing at all.
INTJ culture is noticing small nuances in someone’s behaviour, but not noticing a HUGE pole RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
I need a longer weekend because I need more time to do nothing.
