When I was only 12-years-old, I jumped on the emotional rollercoaster that is "Grey's Anatomy," and have held on for dear life ever since. In a way, "Grey's Anatomy" has been one of the few things that have remained constant in every stage of my life.

I've experienced the romances, the heartbreak, the death and catastrophe and the incoming of new life more times than I can even attempt to count. Even as plot lines seemed to have a few holes, and my favorite actors and characters were given the boot, I've always stuck with it as a loyal fan, hoping it would soon get better again. Unfortunately, I think we can all agree that it's time for "Grey's Anatomy" to make its upcoming 13th season, its last.

Now you may be wondering why, after all of these years of dedication, I've come to this decision to end a show I'm so invested in and fond of? Well, it really all comes down to this, the characters have stopped developing.

This isn't something I blame Shonda for, as I'm sure she's trying her best and assuming most people forgot what happened in earlier seasons that aired over eight years ago, however it's the truth. Every character has gone through hell and back on this show and it's reached the point where development has halted and characters are starting to back track.

For example, April is pregnant again? Haven't we just gotten over the pain of the loss of her first child, and accepted the finality of her divorce from Jackson? No one wants to see April and Jackson stay together purely because of a baby, we need them to move forward in their lives and see what else is out there.

Meredith is considering the option of dating again, P.D. (post-Derek)? Been there done that, we've seen Meredith try the whole dating guys other than Derek thing in the earliest of seasons, and it never worked out, because her and Derek were destined to be together. No relationship Shonda creates for her will ever compare in the slightest to the bond between Meredith and Derek, and honestly, if Meredith gains one more step/half/in-law sister I think I'll lose it.

Meredith has gone through too much pain and suffering to be as normal and well-adjusted as she is, between the brutal attack by a patient, the loss of her half-sister, mother and best friends and becoming a windowed mother of three, she needs some time to just chill and live a normal life if you ask me.

Instead of trying to push the show to its limits and dragging the fans along behind it, Shonda and ABC need to call it quits. Most fans would be happy to see closure for their favorite characters, rather than see them make the same mistakes they've made in past seasons until we're so bored of them we can no longer convince ourselves to watch.

We can't bare to see Alex Karev marry another woman who can't truly commit, and there's not a single, true fan of the show that's rooting for Penny to be successful in the hospital or in any aspect of her life because forgiveness or acceptance over the death of Derek is just not going to happen. It's great to see Karev step up and become Meredith's person, but he'll never be the dark and twisty person that Christina was and that Meredith needed. We may be fans of the new hot intern, but he won't ever be a member of the McDreamy and McSteamy club.

So please, Shonda, I beg of you, give our beloved characters and Seattle Grace/ Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital a final and happy ending that will leave the fans feeling glad they stuck around for a likely 13 seasons. We don't deserve any more trauma, tragedy or back peddling in character development, haven't we all been through enough?
