Quotes From 'Grey's Anatomy' That Changed My Life
Greys anatomy

"Grey’s Anatomy" saved my life in many different respects.

Sure, the drama lured me in, and the fact that I wanted to go into medicine made this a top show for me. However, the true power of the show isn’t understood until you go through circumstances that make the quotes so applicable.

1. Karev is one of my all time favorites because he shows true honesty and perseverance.

His life was pretty much one crappy moment after another especially growing up. He wasn’t given anything and thus he has mastered the art of self-reliance. While he isn’t the flashiest character, he gives the everyday person a role model to keep pushing through. For a lot of people childhood sucks. But it is only a small portion of your life. If you can survive until you don’t have to rely on anyone, then you can make your life what you want.

2. In a lot of ways we let our partners become our lives.

We are all consumed and they are the sun and the moon. What we forget is that the person we love doesn’t complete us, they accompany us. They are the person we chose to join us on our adventure. Don’t let them drive your car; they are just along for the ride.

3. Isn't it always that when we blink we are somewhere else?

You aren’t old enough to have a mortgage or a baby. There are those moments in life that shape the rest of our future. One moment we are here, and the next we are in a different place; that different place could be mentally, physically, financially, or emotionally.

4. I find it funny when someone shocks me about who they are.

I have created an idea of this entire person, yet they jump out like someone totally new, and usually they help greatly or devastate. There is never a middle.

5. We all live to never regret, but it seems to always happen.

Recently, I have discovered how quickly it will all be gone. Especially in this crazy world. It is OK to be proud of where you are. It is good to show off your accomplishments. After all, tomorrow it might be gone.

6. Apologizing is something we all have to do at some point.

Too many apologies can mean that we are weak and can’t stand up for ourselves. In reality it is so much more than that. When we come into a time in our lives and we feel like she should apologize about something big or small, that is actually growth within ourselves. It is a way of challenging us in realizing that “hey, I see the problem there, and I am sorry.” After saying that, then you begin to grow upon yourself and strengthening your weakness that you used to apologize for; therefore, you become stronger and more able to reply on your gut instinct.

7. When we all expect something, we have dreams and goals for the expecting things happening in our lives.

Unfortunately things are not perfect. We know that the unexpected things are what make us stronger, but we cringe at the thought of it sneaking up upon us. We go through a norm each day in having a routine. But when that gets thrown off, what do have? Fear? Yes, for a split second we do but when we start to realize we could create something better and stronger in our lives, then we should jump on it and not fear the unknowing. When I took a step in a direction that I knew nothing about, it changed my life and I couldn’t be more proud. Never fear the unexpected because it can change your life.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
