Late night deep thoughts on Nostr:

One of the most challenging parts of being a firefighter/paramedic is also one of the coolest parts.

Like many other healthcare providers, we see fucked up shit quite often. We witness illness, sickness , suffering & death on a regular basis. To most, this seems like a negative (and it certainly has its challenges), but it's also a huge gift. It injects incredible perspective on the REALITY of life. We get a chance to process the true fragility of the human condition earlier than many others.

Therefore, it often feels like a gift to be able to sit back and recognize just how much of a blessing health & youth are. Firemen make this realization in their 20s & 30s, many others make this realization in their 50s & 60s.
