,Dear Grey's Anatomy,

I am so thankful for having you in my life this time of year especially because I have learned so many life lessons while watching this show. And although I am a newbie to this show, the amount of tears is oddly strange. My boyfriend laughs at me whenever I watch episodes and constantly gives me crap about it. But you know what that is okay because what have learned from watching this show is valuable. Some things consist of never go a day without telling the one's you love how you feel. Cheesy but so true. Secondly, I have found that you don't let people step over you when you are right. Always stand up for what you believe in. Third, people don't turn out to always be who they are. Whether that be good or bad. Just take a chance on people in general because sometimes it is worth it. Alex was sweeter than expected. Fourth, people will do crappy things but you just need to fight through the pain and work for yourself to get through that pain, not for anyone else. For example Cali finding out about Izzie and her husband's affair. Fifth, it's not always easy falling in love and there are going to be complexities. Like McDreamy and Meredith Grey. Sixth, we can't help who we fall for but we shouldn't do bad things to get what we want. Izzie shouldn't have cheated and hurt people like that along the way to feel wanted. Seventh, you can become friends with your enemy eventually, good things take time. Like McDreamy and McSteamy.
