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.
