Grey's Anatomy
Miranda Bailey:"What do you care? With your hair products and your perfect little face and your perfect little life.
What do you care how I am?...
I pay attention.
I pay attention to people in all walks of life, all types. I notice people
I see people...
It's guys like you who don't see people like me.
Guys like you,
who don't see girls like me.
We don't exist for you.
We exist to do your homework.
we exist to build your ego up.
I am a successful married mother.
I am chief resident.
I am chief resident of a major metropolitan hospital.
I am a surgeon who saved his life today.
and he still doesn't see me
i might as well be that high school girl
with the mushroom hair cut
and the coke-bottle galsses
and the band uniform.
The girl who didn't get to go to homecoming dance
because it didn't even occur to him to ask me.
All those late nights tutoring him...
and it didn't even occur to him to ask..."
I hear this and I balked. I was on my stomach in bed watching the Grey's Anatomy episode I missed and I realize that I'm glad I wasn't surrounded by other girls as I saw this... Because it would have been a little embarassing for me to sit there with tears running down my eyes because I knew EXACTLY how that was. I was (and still am) the average girl that didn't get the boy in hs. I didn't get noticed. I was so unnoticed by boys that in all reality I was completely inept at socializing with them. It was the truth of the matter. In all honesty, it's only been a little over a year since I stepped out of high school. Some people say it's been awhile. Some people say it's still too fresh.
Either way, it still hurts. No one liked being the one person who didn't get noticed. I loved high school. I had great friends. I had great experiences. But being the ugly girl.. the fat girl... the... "who was she again?"...
*sigh*
It was undeniably hurtful. And no amount of attempts at forgetting could help me not remember what that was like.
