Meredith Grey - Grey's Anatomy
There's a reason I said I'd be happy alone... It was because I thought if I loved someone and that it fell apart, I might not make it. It's easier to be alone. Because, what if you learn that you need love, and then you don't have it? What if you like it, and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it, and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is, death ends. This? It could go on forever.

- A Terrible Day
"I had a terrible day". We say it all the time. A fight with the boss, the stomach flu. A root canal, an IRS audit, coffee spilled on our clothes. That's what we describe as 'terrible' when nothing terrible is happening. When the really terrible things happen, we start begging to God to bring back the little horrors and take away this. It seems quaint now, doesn't it? Would it have helped if we could see what else was coming? Would we have known that those were the best moments of our lives?

- Desire
Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can't have. Desire leaves us heartbroken; it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. But, as tough as wanting something can be, the people who suffer the most are those who don't know what they want.
Meredith Grey - Grey's Anatomy
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.
