Biography: Melissa Miranda

   I am a recent medical school graduate, in the transition period between study and work. Thats how I would usually describe myself. Most of us describe ourselves based on our occupation, I don't really know why. But I guess it helps to enlighten others about the role that we are playing in society. Beyond this role, there lies a unique personality in each of us. A personality waiting to be discovered. So yes, there's more to me than just being a medical grad waiting to enter the world of physicians. Let me tell you a little more about my true self. I am constantly seeking to express my thoughts and emotions, be it through writing, music, cooking, or a normal conversation.  I love life, though I do become overwhelmed by it sometimes and have to keep reminding myself of why we're here in the first place. I love connecting with people. I believe every human interaction should have a purpose and all parties involved should leave with more than they came in with. 2 people having ended a conversation must both leave feeling enriched, loved, appreciated,  understood etc. I think thats something we should always have in mind when interacting with someone. We have to ask,- "what can I give?"   Well lets see, I love having engaging and mind stimulating conversations even though ideas presented may be contrary to my beliefs. There's always room for change and I'm open to it.  I believe that everyone who's path crosses mine has something valuable to teach me. I feel like I have to be doing something important. I feel like I have a purpose and have a role to play in helping to make the world a better place. I also know that healing the world starts with healing myself first and Im working on that. ;)   Dreams are always within reach, love is never in short supply, and our happiness is in our own hands. No one knows all the answers, but together we can have a fuller view of the big picture once we put our little pieces of the puzzle together.  I would love to meet like minded individuals and opposite minded ones too. All are welcome and will be accepted unconditionally.
