If you know me well, you know that I am probably one of the biggest Grey's Anatomy fans in the world. So, it goes without saying that Meredith Grey is quite possibly one of my favorite characters ever to exist on this earth. She has so much depth to her, which continues to make her so interesting and intriguing, even 12 seasons later. She is a ridiculously smart woman with a lot to teach us so, here are a few life lessons I think we could all learn from her.
1. It's okay not to be okay
Meredith has been through a lot over the past 12 seasons, but she continues to remind us that life can get hard and it is completely okay to be sad about it. Sure, it's not healthy to be sad all the time but she makes it clear that you don't have to paste a fake smile on your face 24/7 for people to like you.
2. How to be a great friend
Christina and Meredith are friendship goals for sure. No matter what is going on, whether they are near or apart they always have each others backs. They know when to hug it out, dance it out, or just stay away from each other and I think that's a kind of relationship we all need to have.
3. Love just happens
We all know that Meredith had anything but the perfect love story with Mcdreamy. So many things tried to tear their relationship apart, yet they always remained together, as one. The love they shared was undeniable and no one could take that away.
4. Don't take yourself too seriously
Life is too short to worry about the little things, and Meredith knows that all too well. For her, the little things were acts such as shaving her legs. Meredith Grey was always busy saving lives and I think it's great that she can sit back and laugh on the little things that others might stress over.
5. Speak up when you want something
Looking back, it was these 6 words that completely changed the route that Grey's Anatomy took. Meredith shows us that if you really want something you have to fight for it, and that's exactly what she did. You never know you might end up with your McDreamy if you're willing to open up and say what you really feel.
6. How to be a super woman
Alright, well maybe she didn't teach us how to be a super woman, but we sure loved watching her do it. So far she has survived every hand life has dealt her, no matter how difficult they may be. She literally plays every role in life and nothing can slow her down.
Meredith Grey is a powerhouse character in the legendary TV series that is Grey's Anatomy. This show may consist of made up situations but I really think it has so many real life lessons to teach. So from all the die hard Grey's fans out there to you, Meredith here is what we would like to say.
You are anything but ordinary.
