i want the whole damn thing

Grey’s Anatomy: Give Peace A Chance ↳ Ask most surgeons why they became surgeons and they usually tell you the same thing. The high, the rush, the thrill of the cut. For me it was the quiet. Peace isn’t a permanent state. It exists in moments. Fleeting. Gone before we even knew it was there. We can experience it at any time, in a stranger’s act of kindness, a task that requires complete focus or simply the comfort of an old routine. Everyday we all experience these moments of peace. The trick is to know when they’re happening so that we can embrace them, live in them. And finally let them go.

“I made a promise to Cristina that I wouldn’t let you go dark and twisty, that I’d be your person if you needed one.”

Oh, no, it’s not gossip. It’s, what do you call it? Scuttlebutt.

Because all of this, everything that’s happened. Sinclair coming after me, using Asher, now this. It all started with what the four of you did.

Dr. Derek Shepherd: What do you want Addison? Dr. Addison Shepherd: I want you to care. I sleep with your best friend and you walk away. He comes here from New York and rubs it in your face, and still you get a good night’s sleep. What do I have to do? Oh, I know. Maybe I should sleep with the vet, because that’s what it seems to take to send you into a blind rage. But wait, that won’t work either because I’m not Meredith Grey! 

get to know me: 2/10 otps You’ve given me an amazing life, and I do love you so.

Another test arrived three years later, when I won the lottery: I fell in love with a man. We’ll call him Pedro, to preserve his anonymity. I wanted to marry Pedro, because I was so in love. I discovered that Pedro’s family here in Mexico is very powerful, has an immense amount of money, much more than I even imagined could exist. Much more than I could ever earn in my lifetime. One day they sat me down and said to me:

have some fire. be unstoppable. be a force of nature. be better than anyone here, and don’t give a damn what anyone thinks.
