You're My Person, Don't Forget It

Everyone needs a 'person,' don't forget to find yours.

On Grey's Anatomy, the character of Cristina Yang developed the saying 'You're My Person' to describe the way she felt about Meredith Grey. And I think it's safe to assume that it also goes the other way around for the Twisted SIsters. (Owen Hunt, anyone?)


Anyway, since then, the saying 'You're My Person' has gone around social media describing the various relationships people can have. From the best friend you have that has been on the toilet in front of you, while you were just brushing your teeth -- to the boyfriend/girlfriend that would answer your call in the dead of night, just because you had a bad dream, everyone should have a person. (And I mean that in every sense of the word.)


There is a certain... Over-dramatization of the social constructs in high school, and even in college through television, movies, and other mass media portrayals of any type of social gathering. And yes, before you go off ranting about things that you experienced during high school and college, the same does not go for everybody, That is why, in my completely unprofessional opinion, I think it is one of the greatest ideas to have a person. To have someone you can talk to anything to, might be the greatest factor of them all. There would be no more internalizing anger, and shoving it down to the dark and scary... You could just be free to yell, scream, cry, and throw an absolute fit, with your person ready to hand you the hammer to clobber whoever hurt you, or the shoulder to cry on, because it's all too much now. Everyone needs a person.


But I don't think everyone has just one person.


As exemplified perfectly through Grey's Anatomy, Meredith for the vast majority of the series is Cristina's person, but in season 12, Meredith becomes Amelia's person -- and I think that's what it's all about.


I need a person to tell all my secrets to, but I also need a person I can just vent to and yell at without them getting all weird. I also need a person who will tell me how smart I am, regardless if I passed my exam or not. And while you may be thinking that you can get all of that person in one, you'd be surprise at the limits some people have. Luckily, I have a person for almost all of my weird needs. I have a boyfriend, who fills my affection meter, and my support meter. He's always there for me, never wavering, and the love he has for me is unconditional. But I also have a best friend, who lets me yell at her when I'm angry. And another friend who tells me that my eyebrows are uneven, after I've put setting spray on, and I have another friend who calls me just because he's lonely at the drive-thru waiting for his food.


My people are what make me who I am today. Perfectly imperfect (Sierra Boggess reference, anyone?) And I love all of them.


So yes, it's important to have a person, but it's also important to have a small group of people that would help you and your one person bury the body. Because let's face it, dead bodies are kind of heavy...


But how would I know that anyway?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
