“I’m scared as hell to want you. But here I am, wanting you anyway.”

— Grey’s Anatomy

“A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. ‘Never leave that ‘til tomorrow,’ he said, ‘Which you could do today.’ This is the man who discovered electricity. You’d think more of us would listen to what he had to say. I don’t know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I’d say it had a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure. Fear of pain. Fear of rejection. Sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you’re wrong. What if you make a mistake you can’t undo. Whatever it is we’re afraid of, one thing holds true. That by the time the pain of not doing the thing gets worse than the fear of doing it. It can feel like we’re carrying around a giant tumor. And you thought I was speaking metaphorically.”

my brain.”

“Forgive and forget,’ that’s what they say. It’s good advice, but it’s not very practical. When someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back; when someone wrongs us, we want to be right. Without forgiveness, old scores are never settled, old wounds never heal, and the most we can hope for is one day we’ll be lucky enough to forget.”

who makes you happy.

it's really not cool to mess with somebody's head like this, you know that, right?

i'm sorry, I get mean when I'm tired

“As babies, we were easy. One cry meant you were hungry, another you were tired. It’s only as adults that we become difficult. They start to hide feelings, put up walls. It gets to the point where we don’t really know what anyone thinks or feels. Without meaning to, we become masters of disguise.”

it's not childish to hold on to hope

— Grey’s Anatomy

“But everything else in the world seems so completely random. What if one little thing I said or did could have made it all fall apart? What if I’d chosen another life for myself. Or another person? We might have never found each other.”

Meredith, you are so right....

Did you say it?

Did you say it? I love you. I don’t ever wanna live without you. You changed my life. Did you say it? Make a plan, set a goal, work toward it. But every now and then, look around. Drink it in. ‘Cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow.

Please hold me as tight as you can, because I’m not sure if I can stand by myself.

- Meredith

We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lesson. We have to swift today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, than waking is better than sleeping and that even the biggest failure even the worst mistake beat the hell out of never trying.

So DAMN right!
