Your Messages and My Responses
Giving unnecessarily detailed but nonetheless interesting responses to some anonymous messages sent to me.
It’s not news to you, but I have to comment on the fact that today is the last one of 2023.
What a year!
I guess I’m supposed to make this a special about the lessons I learnt in the past 12 months or something, but I already did that on my birthday entry. Go check it out after this!
Sorry I missed last Sunday, I sincerely did not know what to write about, and that’s why I’m doing something different. If you are on my Twitter (X…), WhatsApp or Instagram, you will have seen my NGL link. I reposted most of these already, but I thought
“Why not make them into a Substack post?”
Since I lack the creative juices needed to make an article up from scratch…
Here are the anonymous messages I got and my unnecessarily detailed but interesting responses to them:
On the one hand, I do think I am cute. But on the other hand, I am repulsed to find out that such an adjective can be used to describe me. I'm not seriously repulsed, though, because I’ve been in my cute era. I have the face for it, anyway.
Circling back to my body image issues…
I find it hard to believe people think I look good. Sometimes I look good, but most times, I think I look like a rat, and because I cannot be bothered to invest in my appearance, I keep up the rodenty look. Yet, people do seem to think I look nice, and that’s always crazy to me. Thank you.
After the chaos Kubol Anonymous Messages caused circa 2020, I became pretty scared of these things.
Still, I’ve been so curious about what people will say to me anonymously and was pleasantly surprised by how nice people are to me. However, how will I know who you are so I can reach out for the heart emoji?
The same response goes for you. How can I know who you are?!
My brother said that sharing these messages was self-aggrandizing of me, which I feel is true, but I do not care; I think there’s content to be milked from this.
For real, people seem to not hate me as much as I think they should. Or maybe, they do, and the haters will not take the time to click my stupid link and let me know.
So now my data is skewed towards positive feelings (look at the lengths my mind would go to hate itself). What kind of bias is that?
Guys, people love my Substack this much!
Now, for the message that made me want to make my responses a Substack post. Perhaps next time, I’ll tell my audience to ask me anything… It could be stuff about your life or mine or even a random philosophical question.
So back to the question…
Honestly, I feel great. I have not been a doctor for long, and I only began practising medicine as a house officer, but it is much better than I expected.
I projected a lot on how miserable Dr Kufre would be because I despised medical school. I was depressed and bored through most of my time in school, but actually, practising medicine is so different from the dreariness of medical school.
Perhaps it’s because it’s still such a new experience or I’ve been lucky to work with people that make me not hate showing up, but so far, so good. I love learning, and there’s always something new and practical to take home. I love interacting with patients and their relatives, and the sense of fulfilment when you see your patients getting better is unmatched.
I hope the novelty never wears off
and to all the future doctors reading this, do not mind medical school… even though being a doctor is really time-consuming and stressful, at least for me, the experience finds ways to make up for it. For example, I do not have time to think!
I imagine the average attention span for reading an article to be about 500-600 words long, so you should be getting distracted by now.
A bit about myself
I think you should gain direct insights from my expression. What has this Substack post said about me?
But if you want to hear about me from my own perspective, here are 4 sentences.
Kufreabasi Eyo is an intelligent young woman who knows she’s pretty but does not think she is. She is hardworking, but only when she’s passionate and mostly as an escape from a mind she perceives as going too fast.
She maintains a monistic and physicalist perspective of existence and generally considers a life a net negative. She is a loyal friend and an understanding lover, and friends and family adore her even though she has a definite mean streak.
And as for you who asked me what I’m doing tomorrow, which is now today… I hope you wanted to know if you can take me out on New Year’s Eve because I am so open to that.
This is the end, beautiful friend, the end of this entry and of this year. Can you picture what will be? So limitless and free.
For now, let me know if you enjoy this.
And till later. Like, share, and connect with Kuffy Eyo.
This was a lovely read. It’s quite interesting to know what people think about you and how you react to them. I also love the part you talked about your experience being a doctor❤️
