On September 25, 2000, 19-year-old Kevin Hines attempted to end his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Plunging over 220 feet at a speed of 75 miles per hour, he hit the water below, shattering three of his vertebrae and narrowly missing severing his spine by two millimeters. Despite the odds, he miraculously survived the impact.

Upon realizing he was still alive, an intense will to live surged within him. Yet, the weight of his clothes continuously pulled him beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay. For what seemed like an eternity, he struggled to resurface briefly, gasping for air, just enough to hold on to life.

Suddenly, he felt an unusual force from below lifting him above the water's surface, where he remained until the Coast Guard arrived. It was only later that he discovered the mysterious presence keeping him afloat: a sea lion had been supporting his body until the rescue boat arrived, as eyewitnesses had observed.

His story gained major media coverage and he has since become a motivational speaker and advocate for suicide prevention.

[The Secret @thesecret]

You are responsible for your frequency, which is determined by your thoughts, words, feelings, and actions. Lift yourself higher - now.

[Eckhart Tolle Quotes @EckTOLLEQuotes]

Forgive yourself for not being at peace. The moment you completely accept your non-peace, your non-peace becomes transmuted into peace. Anything you accept fully will get you there, will take you into peace. This is the miracle of surrender.

The field of Psychiatry never ceases to amaze me! Intern year going well so far 🤍 so grateful I matched at such an amazing program

[Gabrielle Rivera, MD, MS @gabrielleannerm]

@SenHydeSmith @JoeBiden I’m a resident physician. You think I want my 200,000+ medical school student loan debt because I didn’t work hard or sacrifice years of my life because I expect others to pay for me?I’m in debt to be of service to the American people. Shame on you for this tweet.

Oh you’re going to a teaching hospital in July? Well get ready…

for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.

[Gabrielle Rivera, MD, MS @gabrielleannerm]

One of the most important phrases I’ve learned to say in my first year as an attending physician:

“I don’t know, but I’ll find out.”

Honesty and trust building outweigh pretending every time.

You deserve a healthy love with someone who hears you, sees you, understands you, appreciates you, supports you, and loves you. Someone who's good for your heart, mind, and soul — who knows you aren’t perfect but treats you like you are anyway. A love you never have to heal from.

friends who tell you the truth are so important. we may not always like the truth but it’s necessary for self-awareness purposes & realistic growth. sometimes the people that are closest to us, have insight into things we may not immediately recognize but absolutely need to hear.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

When people can’t control you, they’ll create a story about you. Take a deep breath and remember who you are. Put no energy into false narratives. The truth will one day speak for itself.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Having a relationship with a truly patient person is a love language for anyone healing from trauma.

@LauraStgoCaobi I studied for 5 weeks and it felt enough. Your major studying was done for the shelf’s. Grades >70% on a shelf = good step score

[Gabrielle Rivera, MD, MS @gabrielleannerm]

@LauraStgoCaobi I enjoyed studying for step 2 way more. I reset u world, did as much as I could (100/day. Didn’t finish), rewatched divine intervention and high yield reviews, listened to as many divine rapid review podcasts, did all the nbmes!

[Gabrielle Rivera, MD, MS @gabrielleannerm]

@LauraStgoCaobi I love this!!

[Laura Santiago Caobi (she/her) - MS4 @LauraStgoCaobi]

I just heard this on a song “la gente buena no se entierra, se siembre” and I think thats a beautiful outlook.

Maturing makes you realize you don't wanna be around drama, stress or conflict any longer. You start choosing calm over chaos, and distance over disrespect. You start prioritizing your peace, mental health, and happiness – over everything.
