This is an ode to everyone without a Person™, this is for you. The Grey's Anatomy reference depicts a close relationship between characters Meredith Grey and Christina Wang. It's familiar among every pair of close friends, the concept of having that person no matter what. This relationship pervades beyond romance and even sometimes family. It's meant to be the epitome of platonic love between two people.

Everyone seems to have their Person, except for you. That one who they turn to whenever they need something, their rock, the one who they will always turn to, in spite of distance and time. Maybe at one point, you had that, maybe it's something you've never had, either way, you're here now,

Here's to you, you've pulled yourself through all of your bad days. You brushed your teeth and took care of yourself even when you didn't feel like it or it felt extraordinarily difficult. Your track record for getting through bad days is 100%. You're here now, doing things for yourself by yourself, and that's amazing.

You are amazingly good at being your own Person, more than you might realize. You have your back no matter the circumstances. You're there for yourself whenever you need it. Know that you can depend on yourself, and that is a legitimate form of self-care. Go out with your study group, with a group of friends. Maybe platonic friend-dates just aren't your thing anyway.

Fewer people have that one Person than it seems, it's a burden as well as a blessing. It's great to have a Person, but that title comes with a great deal of responsibility. It means setting your life aside sometimes for your friends, and that's a lot. Put yourself first, be your own Person, make yourself your first priority. There is nothing wrong with that if anything that makes you more reasonable. Your Person will let you down, will hurt you, and sometimes they'll let you go. It's terrifying and painful, but it's possible with every relationship.

Maybe the Wang to your Grey is somewhere out there, waiting to eat ice cream with you and talk all night. They'll cry with you and laugh with you and they'll find their way to you. But for the rest of us who are bound to a life without a Person, it's not so bad. You are whole on your own, your worth is not dependent on the existence of someone else.

Be your own Person, own up to the title. You are and have been, since before the Person hype, your own Person. You have your family, your friends, and your own acts of self-care collectively make up your Person.
