5 Times Grey's Anatomy Characters Nailed It
Spoilers Daily

Every character on Grey's Anatomy has had their inspirational moments throughout the past 12 seasons (currently season 13 is being aired). However, a few of my favorite characters have said some amazing, relatable things that I think everyone should read/hear, so I'm going to share them with you all:

1. When Alex Karev gave a pep talk to a surgeon in need of reassurance.

People spend so much time caring about what others think of them and their decisions, that they begin to be society's puppet. But, as Karev clearly puts it, what matters at the end of the day is what you think about yourself and about the choices that you make, because you're the one who has to live with them.


2. When Mark Sloan gave words of wisdom to a fellow doctor while he was on his death bed.

I think we live in a world where we filter our thoughts and emotions because we are scared. We are scared to be honest with ourselves and with others because we don't want our lives to implode. We all need to stop being scared, because who knows how much time we have left? So go shout from the rooftops that you love your best friend since you were five years old. Just do it. You don't know what will happen when you admit these things, but I can tell you that if you keep certain feelings bottled up inside then you will always wonder "what if," and this will eat you alive.


3. When Cristina Yang's feminist side comes out.

Everyone wants to be told that they are beautiful or handsome (if you're a guy), because our society measures our value by our appearance, which is a bunch of BS. I agree with Cristina: compliment my brain. Looks fade. We all (hopefully) will be old and wrinkly some day, but you know what? Our brains and our thoughts and who we are will still remain the same. Let's start valuing what really matters in a human being.


4. When Meredith Grey realizes why she pushes away the one that she truly loves.

I think it's easy to be so scared of something that we begin to convince ourselves that we are fine without it. In the case of love it is easy to pretend that we would be okay if we end up alone, but in reality we are so scared of getting hurt that we never let anyone close enough to be able to hurt us. The thing about love is that the person who is able to bring us the most joy is the same person who can cause us the most pain, and we just need to accept it. Love is a double-edged sword.


5. When Dr. Miranda Bailey admits that she is scared.

We are all scared in life. Some are scared of dying. Some are scared that they are not good enough. Some are scared that they will never amount to anything great in life. But I think that all of us can agree that we are all scared of looking back on our lives when we are old and grey and having regrets about how we lived or wishing that we could hit a reset button to change what path we went down. Make it your life's work to not have regrets and to live a good and happy life.


So as you can see, Grey's Anatomy isn't some stupid, over-hyped TV show. It's a show that has such complex characters who have these incredible moments where they so clearly pinpoint our exact feelings or thoughts whether we were aware of them or they were in our subconscious. I love this show and the way it makes me think about life...

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
