Yes, that’s right. I am the hugest fan of Grey’s Anatomy.  I cried my heart out when Izzie’s was diagnosed with cancer, when Cristina had a breakdown over Burke’s betrayal, when Denny died.

All the characters are so real, yet unbelievable.  They show love as it is. Complicated and hard. Everybody wants it but only a few succeed.

I have been heartbroken so many times while watching the show, but I also have let the warm hope and magical dreams sweep over me.  What I love most about the show is the opening commentary that underlines the theme- when any one of the characters begins and ends with the most practical yet optimistic view of life. They state life as it is. As we experience it.

One of my favorite quotes from the show:

“You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true.”- Meredith

Here is my favorite part from the song: 
“Fools in love,
Are there any other kind of lovers?
Fools in love,
Is there any other kind of pain”

I'm a sucker for romantic movies and jane austen.  The beautiful and strong headed heroine, the swashbuckling hero, the beautiful green valley...
