I have found a lot of quotes that I love, and a lot of quotes that apply to my life, and my feelings about mom.
Your whole world has transformed. You realize the ground beneath you has shifted. Things are uncertain. And there’s no turning back. The world around you is different now. Unrecognizable. And there’s nothing you can do about it. You’re stuck. The future’s staring you in the face. And you’re not sure you like what you see. Like I said, I’m not big into change.
Richard Webber
What’s worse, new wounds which are so horribly painful or old wounds that should’ve healed years ago and never did? Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we’ve been and what we’ve overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That’s what we like to think. But that’s not the way it is, is it? Some things we just have to learn over and over and over again.
Meredith Grey
Not only is it a good show (my favorite show!) there are a lot of wise words.
It’s one of those things 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, trying to keep things the same. Things can’t stay the same though. At some point you just have to let it go. Move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it’s the only way we grow.
Just when we think we’ve figured things out, the universe throws us a curve ball. So we have to improvise. We find happiness in unexpected places. We find our way back to the things that matter the most. The universe is funny that way, sometimes it just has a way of making sure we wind up exactly where we belong.
No matter how thick-skinned we try to be, there’s millions of electrified nerve endings in there, open and exposed and feeling way too much. Try as we might to keep from feeling pain, sometimes it’s just unavoidable. Sometimes that’s the only thing left - just feeling.
There are so many more, but these are just the ones I have found so far.
Oh, and for a giggle, here's this last one.
