In this day and age, I feel that, as a society, many of us focus on the phrase by Meredith Grey saying "Pick me, choose me, love me." Even I just told someone last week to pick between me and another girl, just to be told I wasn't wanted.
Do you think I was in pain? Absolutely. I was heartbroken that I had spent time and effort on someone for them to just lie to me and hurt me. How do you think it felt when I looked at him with tears in my eyes, asking him why he did this to me? It was absolutely awful.
However, as a couple days have passed, I have found myself continually reflecting on a phrase by Christina Yang, Meredith Grey's best friend. She said, "He's not the sun, you are."
That iconic phrase is often forgotten, as we focus on the famous phrase Meredith said. We often take it upon ourselves to scream from the rooftops that we deserve love, and more times than not, we get hurt by those people we let into our lives like that.
However, we have to remember one thing: Our friends and family will always be there to pick us up when we are at our lowest. They will love us as we are, and expect nothing less. They will go above and beyond to remind you that you are enough, and you deserve more than what that one person did to you.
Love is wonderful, and we all want to be in love. I get that. However, knowing that YOU are the sun and in power of your own life is something that we often forget and let fall to the wayside.
