story of a girl

So I was able to watch the third episode of Grey’s Anatomy Season 5 last night, and I just love it! It really touched me to the bones.

It was basically a story of the struggles we face in life and according to Dr. Wyatt, the goal is to feel all these terrible stuff without dying from it. I know we all have our own crosses to carry and paths to walk on and almost all of us think that getting our happy endings at the end of every journey is the ultimate objective. But what she said was right. The main goal really is to survive despite having to go through the most gruesome of the gruesomeness that life has to offer, getting to the happy part becomes somewhat just a bonus.

For the past weeks, I have been preoccupied with all these sad stories about some people around me and I can’t help but get affected. I thought at first that it’s going to be better if I slow down and not give myself fully into anything that I’m in now, like in my relationships, because later on I just might find myself in the same situations. But that’s bullsh*t. I can go on telling myself that I’d be careful and I would always leave something for me but in reality it wouldn’t happen. Because the harder I try to shield myself from all these bad stuff, the more vulnerable I become.

In this episode, I love the way Meredith stood by her truth, by what she thought was right at that moment despite her vulnerability and fear that Derek might not love her for that. Because that’s the way it should be, we shouldn’t keep ourselves from running after the things we want, we should speak up for our truths even if in the end we might find ourselves crying in the gutter.

Oh, and Alex (OMG! He’s so hot!), when he said that we all have problems to deal with and sometimes we might feel like the world has betrayed us but we must keep looking forward to a possibility of something good, we must always have something to live for. Because somewhere there after everything we’ve been through, our luck will turn around and when that happens, we should be ready to say “Hello.”

God, I hate how Grey’s Anatomy always has something right to say even if sometimes it overdoes the drama but there are moments that it simply just presents reality. And all that is left for us to do is to relive it, may be in a better way, in our own dramatic shows called life.
