| Don't Stand So Close to Me |
MEREDITH: "At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it's usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them. The people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need." - Grey's Anatomy, Season 3, Episode 10, "Don't Stand So Close To Me"
Okay, just based on the whole chunk up there, you can probably infer that I've been watching 'Grey's' on Channel 5 again. What can I say? I'm just so addicted to 'Grey's'.
Anyway, that was Mer's voice-over closing speech-ending-thingy at the end of the 10th episode of Season 3. The episode's theme was on family, both your real biological family, and the family that you choose to adopt along the way.
I love the whole chunk up there. I know some of you would just say that its all just scripted melodrama, but you can't deny the truth behind those well scripted words. Because that's really what people do.
You find people, you pick them, and you choose who you want to be close to, and you stick by them, irregardless of whether you are holding on to them too tightly or whether you are influencing them in a negative way. Because they've become your family, your family away from your family, and you NEVER give up on family; no matter how irritating, how troublesome, how different they may be, you DO NOT quit your family. Simple as that.
I don't have anything else to say really. I just found the whole chunk up there very illuminating, and was overwhelmed by this sudden urge to post it up here.
'Grey's' really teaches you stuff - not just medical stuff, but human stuff as well. I keep finding parallels between events in the show and the life I'm living right now - so its hard not to lose myself completely to the non-reality of the series.Labels: grey's anatomy, quotes, soul |
