"We all have heroes - people we look up to, people we aspire to be, who teach us how to be greater than we are because they're greater than we are. They're great, if we don't look too closely. 'Cause if we get too close, we realize heroes are just regular people. And regular people can fail us."

-Meredith Grey

It's one of those things that people say, you can't move on until you let go of the past. Letting go is the easy part, it's the moving on that's painful. So sometimes we fight it, try and keep things the same. Things can't stay the same though. At some point, you just have to let go. Move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it's the only way we grow.

Love has boundaries. We know this. We knock them down, build them back up, then knock them down again. But does it have to be that way? Can't we learn? Can't we be brave? Can't we believe? Because, maybe that's all we need - a little courage, a little hope, a little belief. Maybe there are no boundaries if we choose to not see them. Maybe love is unlimited if we're just brave enough to decide love is limitless.

"They say love knows no bounds...I don't know about that. I feel like I've seen the bounds and pushed them a couple of times. Love definitely has bounds. I've seen where it ends."

"All bleeding must stop. Sometimes it does so at a cost. You lose the arm, remove the organ. You choose to live with the loss because at the end of the day you'll do whatever you can to stay alive. And sometimes by some miracle the bleeding stops. But sometimes, no matter how hard you try, it's still not enough."

What’s broke can be mended.
What’s hurt can be healed.
And that no matter how dark it gets;
the sun will rise again.

Love. 

Neuroscience tells us it activates the same parts of the brain as habit forming addiction. It makes us feel like we can do anything. Be anything. Achieve anything. And once we taste it, we want more.

"Anything you say, runs right out. There is no enough"

"Burke was- He took something from me. He took little pieces of me, little pieces over time, so small I didn't even notice, you know? He wanted me to be something I wasn't, and I made myself into what he wanted. One day I was me Cristina Yang, and then suddenly I was lying for him, and jeopardizing my career, and agreeing to be married and wearing a ring, and being a bride. Until I was standing there in a wedding dress with no eyebrows, and I wasn't Cristina Yang anymore. And even then, I would've married him. I would have. I lost myself for a long time. And now that I'm finally me again, I can't. I love you. I love you more than I loved Burke. I love you. And that scares the crap out of me because when you asked me to ignore Teddy's page, you took a piece of me, and I let you. And that will never happen again."

Do you know who you are? Do you know what's happened to you? Do you want to live this way? All it takes is one person, one patient, one momento to change your life forever. It can change your perspective, color your thining, one moment that forces you to re-evaluate everything you think you know.

That’s how you stay alive. When it hurts so much you can’t breathe, that’s how you survive. By remembering that one day, somehow, impossibly, you won’t feel this way. It won’t hurt this much.

I’m not going to feel sad, angry or pitiable for one more minute because I’m not going to care about you. So, if I don’t say hello or make small talk in the elevator or acknowledge your birthday or even acknowledge you’re alive, it’s because to me, you just exist because I don’t care.

I don't have to say a word. He just looks at me and sees who I am and how I feel and accepts it. He doesn't try to change it or wants to change it. That person. There's a billion people but I imagine there's only one of him.

We’ll try again and we’ll fail again because that’s what progress looks like. Progress looks like a bunch of failures. And you’re going to have feelings about that because it’s sad, but you cannot fall apart. And then one day, we will succeed.

It's one of those things that people say, you can't move on until you let go of the past. Letting go is the easy part, it's the moving on that's painful.

you're perfect.

Save me.

You know when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales? That fantasy of what your life would be – white dress, prince charming who’d carry you away to a castle on a hill. You’d lie in your bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, prince charming –they were so close you could taste them. But eventually you grow up and one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is, it’s hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely because almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope and faith that one day they would open their eyes and it would all come true.

At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And its not so important, happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, and once in a while people may even take your breath away.

The early bird catches the worm; a stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we haven't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to ‘seize the day'. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.
