The voice within me

One of the reasons I enjoy watching Grey's Anatomy is this: the voiceovers...quotes worth to be written somewhere you can read them every now and then. I find them really inspired and touching. Here's a quote about big days in our lives; the first part is from the beginning of the episode, the other two are from the end, just a few minutes one from another. Enjoy!

"You never know the biggest day of your life is going to be the biggest. The days you think are going to be big ones, they're never as big as you make them out to be in your head. It's the regular days, the ones that start out normal, those are the days that end up being the biggest.

You never know the biggest day of your life is your biggest day...not until it's happening.

You don't recognise the biggest day of your life...not until you're right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something...someone; the day you get your heart broken; the day you meet your soulmate; the day you realise there's not enough time because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days."

I need to stop making plans and not respecting them. I need to set some goals, some real goals and work hard in order to achieve them. And I will.

Every day I hear people complaining. I complain. Every single day. People don't even listen to each other. We don't have conversations anymore, 'cause we don't listen to the people around. We just wait for our turn to talk, to say our problems out loud, to make our voices heard. Nobody's more important than we are, nobody's got bigger problems than we have so by no means should anybody interrupt us.
And I think that, subconsciously, we are aware that the person in front of us doesn't listen to us either. However, it's just a little bit more comfortable to talk in front of a real person than in front of the mirror, 'cause that person has also got problems, has also got weaknesses and flaws, that person is as imperfect as we are...and that's comforting. Very comforting. Because this way we are sure we won't be judged. We usually encourage one another, we offer and ask for support, we seek approval and hope that if we aren't the only ones who've made mistakes, this means we are not as guilty as we feel, we are not as bad as we feel and this way...we can go on with our lives...our superficial, senseless lives. And we call this friendship. We call it friendship...how ironic and...and deceitful...!


OK. That was a pessimistic approach. This doesn't mean I don't believe in friendship, and people we really care about and who really care about us, and who are there for us and we are there for, too. I do believe. Cause no matter how hard we try to be strong and not care and keep distance... we need to have people to love and be close to. That's how it is. That's how we humans are. And, personally, I like this, even if we get hurt sometimes.

I'll finish this post with a quote from "Grey's Anatomy":

"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, is 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."

no hay ceguera peor que no querer mirar.

În ultima vreme, mi-am petrecut timpul liber urmărind "Grey's Anatomy". Descoperisem serialul acum vreo doi ani, în vacanţa de vară, dar uitasem de el. Apoi am văzut vreo două episoade la TV şi am zis să încerc să-l văd pe tot. Nici n-a fost prea greu, m-a prins destul de tare. Mi se pare interesant şi, deşi durează de câţiva ani şi la un moment parcă o ia puţin pe arătură, nu a devenit telenovelistic, doctorii nu doar zic că sunt doctori, aproape jumătate din episod are loc în sala de operaţie, de traume sau în saloanele pacienţilor. Am văzut inimi pulsând, rinichi scăpaţi pe jos în timpul transplantului, picioare puse la loc, feţe mutilate şi refăcute şi multe alte chestii de genul.
Şi ce e drăguţ e că e realist. Nu se chinuie să tragă de personaje doar pentru că Făt-Frumos şi Ileana Consânzeana trebuie să rămână mereu împreună. În viaţa reală, din păcate, nu e aşa. Şi mă bucur că îşi respectă actorii, chiar dacă asta e posibil să însemne plecarea unui personaj care chiar îmi place şi, deci, distrugerea oricărei speranţe de "refacere" a unei anumite perechi. Şi soundtrack-ul e foarte inspirat.

În altă ordine de idei, foarte drăguţe sunt voiceover-urile, care te implică într-un fel, te fac să te gândeşti la nişte chestii. În următoarea perioadă, o să postez citate din serial, în special din voiceover-uri, dar nu numai, citate care pe mine m-au "trezit" de multe ori şi m-au făcut să mă gândesc la multe lucruri.

Practicing medicine doesn't lend itself well to the making of friends. Maybe because life and mortality are in our faces all the time. Maybe because, in staring down death every day, 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.

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.

I believe in heaven. I also believe in hell. I've never seen either, but... I believe they exist. They have to exist... because without a heaven... without a hell... we're all just headed for limbo. (Început de episod)
Heaven, Hell, Limbo...No one really knows where we're going or what's waiting for us when we get there, but the one thing we can say for sure with absolute certainty is there are moments that take us to another place, moments of Heaven on earth, and maybe for now, that's all we need to know. (Sfârşit de episod)

Dr. M.G.: What was the point? All those hours and all that money. what's the point? The world is a horrible place. Young people die of diseases. It makes absolutely no sense to try to be happy in a world that's such a horrible place.
Dr. W. (Her shrink) : Yes.
Dr. M.G.: What?
Dr. W.: Yes, horrible things do happen. Happiness in the face of all of that?... that's not the goal. Feeling the horrible and knowing that you're not gonna die from those feelings... that's the point.

When you spend your life with someone and you have kids together, you think it'll always be this amazing, and this wonderful. You think that you'll always feel that kind of love and I do, I do love Phil. I just... well little pieces of you get chipped away by another person and then you shave little pieces of yourself away so you'll fit together and then one day you look up and you don't even know who you are.

Giving birth may be all intense and magical and stuff but the act itself is not exactly pleasant. But it's also the beginning of something incredible... something new... something unpredictable... something true... something worth loving... something worth missing... something that will change your life forever.

The thing about addiction is, it never ends well. Because eventually, whatever it is that was getting us high, stops feeling good, and starts to hurt. Still, they say you don't kick the habit until you hit rock bottom. But how do you know when you are there? Because no matter how badly a thing is hurting us, sometimes, letting it go hurts even worse.
[...]
In the hospital, we see addiction every day. It's shocking, how many kinds of addiction exist. It would be too easy if it was just drugs and booze and cigarettes. I think the hardest part of kicking a habit is wanting to kick it. I mean, we get addicted for a reason, right? Often, too often, things that start out as just a normal part of your life at some point cross the line to obsessive, compulsive, out of control. It's the high we're chasing, the high that makes everything else fade away.

You can make your way out from everything.

Pentru că ai fost alături de mine tot timpul.
Pentru că niciodată nu ai pus altceva pe primul loc, decât pe mine.
Pentru tot ceea ce m-ai învăţat.
Pentru fiecare mustrare, pentru fiecare încurajare, pentru fiecare zâmbet şi pentru fiecare sfat.
Pentru că tu eşti cea care se bucură din tot sufletul când eu sunt fericită şi cea căreia chiar îi pasă atunci când sufăr.
Pentru că ai făcut faţă cu brio tot timpul valurilor de "De ce?"-uri.
Pentru că nu mi-ai ascuns niciodată lucruri pe care chiar trebuia să le ştiu.
Pentru că îţi faci griji pentru mine chiar şi când nu e nevoie.
Pentru că mă motivezi şi mă susţii.
Pentru că fără tine nu aş fi fost cine sunt.
Pentru tot ce ai făcut, faci şi vei face pentru mine...

...îţi mulţumesc, mami! La mulţi ani!

For a shield from the storm;
For a friend; for a love
To keep me safe and warm,
I turn to you.
For the strength to be strong;
For the will to carry on;
For everything you do;
For everything that's true,
I turn to you.
