Meredith Grey, the protagonist of Grey's Anatomy, has been a source of inspiration and realisations. She is scary and damaged, dark and twisty. She has a number of issues of her father and abandonment variety, but she is really trying to work through them. Sometimes, though, the easiest thing to do is drown your sorrows in tequila. She does the same. And then people, that is the "Day".
The "Day" when dark and twisty Meredith disappears forever, and bright and shiny Meredith takes her place. You probably do not want to be her friend anymore. because the sheer intensity of her happiness will make your teeth hurt, but she is okay with that, because....Life Is Good! :-)
Some of her quotes which I personally like:
-When we follow our hearts, we choose not to settle. It's funny, isn't it?
A weight lifts. The Sun shines a little brighter. And for a brief moment at least, we find a little peace.
-You don't have to be tough every minute of every day. It's okay to let down your guard.
-If there's just one piece of advice I can give you, it's this-
'When there's something you really want, fight for it no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you have lost hope, ask yourself in 10 years from now, you are going to wish you gave it just one more shot because the best things in life, they don't come for free'.
-"I think you can't wait for someone to fly underneath you and save your life. I think you have to save yourself"
-You can seek the advice of others, surround yourself with trusted advisers. But in the end the decision is always yours and yours alone. And when it's time to act and you are all alone with your back against the wall, the only voice that matters is the one in your head. The one telling you what you already knew. The one that is almost always right.
-We are adults. When did that happen? And how do we make it stop?
-"I love you, in a really,really big 'pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head outside your window', unfortunate way that makes me hate you,love you. So Pick me, Choose me, Love me.
-Go, hug yourself.
-Time waits for no man. Time heals all wounds. All any of us want, is more time. Time to stand up, time to grow up, time to let go.
-It's like one day you realize the fairy tale might be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle and it's not so important that it's happy ever after, just that it's happy right now. See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you and once in a while, people may even take your breath away.
-We are friends, real friends. And that means, no matter how long it takes, when you finally do decide to look back, I will still be there.
-Knowing is better than wondering. Waking is better than sleeping. Even the biggest failure, even the most in-traceable mistake, beats the hell out of never trying.
