Why I Love Fire/EMS: every day its something totally different. its not the same boreing thing every single day. Its where i dont well cant worry about my problems, i clear my mind before i go on shift everyday cause if i dont and my mind gets clouded with my problems, i cant focus on that person(s) that need my help, i like coming on shift and saying, "im not worried nor am i gonna worry about my problems today. im gonna worry about someone elses." but dont get me wrong, i dont worry just about me all the time. im not selfish like that.
