We’re all susceptible to it, the dread and anxiety of not knowing what’s coming. It’s pointless in the end, because all the worrying and the making of plans for things that could or could not happen, it only makes things worse. So walk your dog or take a nap. Just whatever you do, stop worrying. Because the only cure for paranoia is to be here, just as you are.
~ Meredith in “I Always Feel Like Someone’s Watching Me (S06E03)
According to Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, when we’re dying or have suffered a catastrophic loss, we all move through five distinct stages of grief. We go into denial because the loss is so unthinkable we can’t imagine it’s true. We become angry with everyone, angry with survivors, angry with ourselves. Then we bargain. We beg. We plead. We offer everything we have, we offer our souls in exchange for just one more day. When the bargaining has failed and the anger is too hard to maintain, we fall into depression, despair, until finally we have to accept that we’ve done everything we can. We let go. We let go and move into acceptance.
~ Meredith, S06E01- Good Mourning
“We crave what we can’t attain, but we disrespect what we can’t escape…”
Hmmm…why are human beings so contradictory?
Don’t allow yourself to be consumed by life’s problems; be consumed with life’s joys.
I wish it was that easy. Perhaps I’m just a born pessimist. Or maybe it’s just a passing phase. It sucks, but for me right now, the cup just seems half empty on most days. It’s not that I don’t observe shittier things in life on a daily basis that outweighs all the crap in my life. Nevertheless, the cup still feels half empty.
I’m now finally taking some time off from work, life and all the crap in my life (hopefully). I hope that at the end of it, I will be less burnt out and perhaps the cup will be half full when I return…
Relationships- of all kinds- are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold on to some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.
~ Kaleel Jamison, The Nibble Theory
The lines of communication, when broken, will result in much misunderstanding.
A statement from my brother while we were chatting. Hmmm…
“…I was just on the cusp of having one of those bone cleansing cries a woman should treat herself to at least once during a lunar cycle.”
~ Julia Romano in My Sister’s Keeper, by Jodi Picoult
Well said. I guess some of us females really need an outlet to release the stress and PMS we go through every month. Perhaps the stress and frustration leaks out together with the tears. And yes, I guess you guys can blame it on the hormones. But then again, not everything is due to PMS, ok? Sometimes, it may actually be your fault.
Anyway, am having a bad week at work. Will probably need a few rounds of bone cleansing cries this lunar cycle..
“Practicing medicine doesn’t lend itself to the making of friends. Maybe because life and mortality are in our faces all the time. Maybe because in staring down death everyday, we’re forced to know that life, every minute is borrowed time. And each person, we let ourselves care about is just one more loss somewhere down the line. For this reason, I know some doctors who just don’t bother making friends at all. But the rest of us, we make it our job to move that line. To push each loss as far away as we can.”
~ Meredith Grey, Grey’s Anatomy
Actually I don’t really remember this quote, but I saw it at The Cube. Not quite sure which episode it came from either…but I think it is something to think about…
“There’s a point in your life when you get tired of fixing everything and trying to make everyone happy. When you finally decide to quit, it’s NOT giving up. It’s realizing you dont need certain people and the bullshit they bring into
your life.”
~ Dr Izzie Stevens, Grey’s Anatomy
Burke: What is your problem?
Cristina: You know everyone’s back. Everyone’s back except her. And I listen to her. Everyday, about her McLove life, her McDreamy, her McCrap. And the one day, the one day I have a thing she disappears.
Burke: Meredith, this is about Meredith.
Cristina: She doesn’t know yet.
Burke: Meredith?
Cristina: She’s my person.
Burke: Right. And if Meredith doesn’t approve, then what?
Cristina: No, no. This, This is not about getting her approval, its about…
Burke: What?
Cristina: Telling her makes it, makes it… If I murdered someone she’s the person I’d call to help me drag the corpse across the living room floor.
Burke: Okay, now, you’re likening someone here to a corpse. I’m done.
Cristina: She’s my person
~ Drowning on Dry Land, Grey’s Anatomy S03E16
Sigh. I wish my person worked in the same place as I do. It would be easier then to get her to help me drag the corpse around. I miss my person
