Why it's entertainment with a twist

A Letter To 'Grey's Anatomy' Fans
WetPaint

I open my eyes as I lay on my back underneath my translucent canopy with my rose gold lights hanging above. I stretch my hands above my head and breath out into the fresh morning seeping through my window. Throwing my covers off my body, I leap out of bed and head to the living room.

*Remote remote remote*, I thought to myself, searching around the room. “AHA!”

I grab the black, button colored remote and let myself trust fall into the couch. Ahhh, yes Grey’s Anatomy. I always thought this show was so overrated. It was all I would hear anybody talk about and here I was, addicted thanks to my sister. Who would’ve known?

I sit and watch the chemistry between Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd. The love that was fought for and that was just so noticeable to the human eye. Almost tangible to say the most. Yes, I know. That love came out of a cheating, marriage. I know I know. But you want to know the true beauty? The fact that two people in love found each other when people wait forever to find someone they're meant to be with for the rest of their life, yet some of them never do.

My second favorite part about Grey’s Anatomy, is the friendship between Dr. Sloan and Dr. Torres. They sleep together yes, don’t give me the lecture on the “how could you think a ‘friends with benefits’ friendship is amazing?” Well, it’s not that. It’s the fact that although Torres was questioning her sexuality, the one guy in the whole hospital who has the reputation of a man whore douchebag, has this longing to help her through it.

My third and most heart thrilling part of the whole show, is that no matter how many people they may lose to an illness or failing surgery, they still fight to save lives. Yes, I know this is a show, but my point is the fact that there are people like that in this world who do the same. For example, when Grey does research to try and save those who have brain tumors using a virus (I don’t know scientific terms), Grey and Shepherd lose 13 patients during their clinical trial before they finally find a procedure that works. THAT effort and dedication put into finding a solution to save the lives of those who have to live with the desolation of a tumor is life changing. There are many incidences where doctors will turn down a patient who requests a surgery for the removal of a tumor they have, but the fact that there are people like Grey and Shepherd in this world who insist on trying to find a cure are pure angels.

This show may be just a show, but it is a glimpse of the world we live in. The fight to be an equal, the fight to be the person we want to be, the fight to love who we want to love, and the fight to fight for what we believe in. Grey’s Anatomy may be just a show, but it’s a show with a theme: Never stop fighting for what you feel.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
