don't stand so close to me.

Meredith: "At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, it's usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them. The people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need."

Meredith: "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."


Not okay, really not okay. Must I say I'm okay, like how everyone wants to hear, to try and make myself believe in it somewhat, just to go on. Will it miraculously make everything okay again? If it will, I would say it a thousand times over. I want to heal. I have to heal. Why can't, why can't you understand it's hard. Why can't you understand it's not working. I'm trying hard every single day, every single day. But every breath I take still hurts. Who wouldn't want the best for himself? Who wants to stay and feel damaged. My plea, it's real.

The thing people are best at doing? Walking away. Everybody walks away, at some point in time, thinking that it's the best for everyone, never once realizing that walking away is always, always actually only done and good for the one doing it.
