Summary

We are told to move fast, to grow, and to achieve. But what happens when the weight of the 'overload' becomes too much? In this intimate short piece, Favour explores the internal dialogue of a student caught between the precision of Medical Laboratory Science and the boundless world of 2D animation. It is a reflection on starting from zero, the beauty of the quiet moments, and the courage it takes to script your own world.

Chapter 1: The Overload

The world is loud.

It’s the clink of glass in the lab, the hum of the centrifuge, and the endless rows of data that I’m supposed to master. My life as a Medical Lab Science student is a world of precision—where every microliter counts and there is no room for "what if."

But inside, there’s a different kind of noise. It’s the sound of stories trying to breathe. It’s the weight of being "in between."

I look at the clock and I feel the overload. People see a student chasing a degree. I see a girl chasing a version of herself she hasn't met yet. I am starting from zero, and zero is a terrifying place to be when everyone else seems to be at a hundred.


Thank you for reading. This piece is a reflection of my real-life journey as a Med Lab student learning 2D animation. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
