The years we spend as surgical residents will be the best and worst of our lives. We will be pushed to our breaking point. This is the starting line. This is our arena. How well we play? That’s up to us.
Move on, it’s the only way we let go.- Meredith Grey (Season8, Ep.20-The Girl With No Name) Hey there's a mistake, it should be "the only way we grow". i love that piece!
oh thanks! I’ll go change that.
So there’s this bird, some sort of swallow, I think. Every September, thousands of them ditch rainy Seattle to winter in Mexico. These birds aren’t dumb and every year, crowds of people gather around Seattle to drink beer and watch the flocks take off. They call it the Great Migration.
…
I don’t know how those birds do it. Travel thousands of miles without getting lost, banging into windows, being eaten by cats. But every spring they’re always here. I guess they come back to what they know. People say it’s pretty cool watching them go. They say you can actually see the moment when that mysterious signal, all at once, the birds decide to leave. So maybe I’ve been missing out. Whatever. There is always next year.

awesome! thanks for this :)
you are welcome! :D
Carpe diem, how annoying is carpe diem? How are you supposed to plan a life, a career, a family, if you’re always carpe-ing the diem? If we all ceased every moment of every day, there wouldn’t be doctors who would sit through med school. We’d all be too busy living in the now. Whatever that means.
…
I’ll admit the Romans had a point. You gotta live life and living means that every morning when you wake up you have to choice. Between ceasing what life offers in moment and forging ahead no matter the weather or closing the curtains and shutting out the day.

Picture this. You’ve spent the last five years of your residency training to become a surgeon but those five years suddenly don’t matter. The only thing that matters, the only thing between you and the rest of your career, is a test in a random hotel in a random city with a random examiner, asking you random questions. Are you nervous? You should be.
…
Kindergarden, high school, college, med school, residency. It all leads to this moment. Some people can crack under the pressure, others thrive. Either way there’s nothing left to do. No more studying, no more preparing. Like it or not, the moment has arrived. The only thing left for you to do is show up.

When you’re a kid you always want things to stay the same. The same teacher, the same house, the same friends. Being a surgeon is no different. You get used to the same attendings, same scrub nurses, same hospital. Of course, that all changes the minute first year comes around and you have to find a new job.
…
It’s one of those things people say. You can’t move on until you’ve 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, it’s the only way we grow.

Dear greysanatomylifelesson writer, I never had the chance to tell you that your work is AWESOME and it is my reference!!! it's in my browser tool bar, favorites and book mark.. Thank you for the brilliant work.. Love, Reef x
aww, I’m glad you enjoy! :DD
How come you're not updating? :(
oh no, I just realized the last two episodes are still in my drafts!!! D: I’ll go ahead and post them with tonights. Sorry about that!
Every little kid knows the words to the song. The foot bones connected to the leg bone. The leg bones connected to the knee bone. In med school, you learn it’s a little more complicated than that but still the songs not wrong. Everything is connected and if you take one piece out, the rest just falls apart.
…
The human body is made up of systems that keep it alive. There’s the one that keeps you breathing and the one that keeps you standing. The one that makes you hungry and the one that makes you happy. They’re all connected. Take a piece out and everything else falls apart. And it’s only when our support systems look like they might fail us that we realize how much we depended on them all along.
