Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
Shudder deep and cry out:
"Isn't something missing?

I’ve lived in her house, but I can’t remember the last time she was home. It’s not like she cooked dinner for the two of us and encouraged the sharing of stories from the day. She was ( Read more... )

You don't see what you possess, a beauty calm and clear
It floods the sky and blurs the darkness like a chandelier
All the light that you possess if skewed by lakes and seas
The shattered surface, so imperfect, is all that you believeLady Macbeth wakes up in the night and furiously scrubs at her hands. No matter how hard she tries, she can never ( Read more... )

Slow MotionIt seems like a near-death (or, I guess in my case, just death) experience should feel rushed. There should be an overwhelming amount of activity - life-flashing before your eyes, fighting for your life, running to/from the white light. It should be hurried and frenzied and sudden.

What are you thankful for?

Seriously?

I'm thankful for the program. Yeah. How lame does that sound?

But really. I am. I'm thankful.

The majority of my time is spent at the hospital. Shifts are long, food sucks, but it's all part of the program. I've seen a lot of amazing surgeries - I've scrubbed-in on a lot too. I've treated a lot of patients ( Read more... )

Change is constant. She knows that. Oh yes, she's very well-aware. And on the off-chance that someone, somewhere in the ever-annoying powers-that-be-think otherwise? Something else bops along to remind her about change being constant. Nothing ever just... stays ( Read more... )

SatisfactionMeredith found a weird sense of satisfaction in being high on morphine. She didn’t remember the feeling when she woke up, and really, she didn’t remember anything she said. But, the feeling at the time was wonderful. There was something really great about being able to say exactly what she thought without her conscience or overall ( Read more... )
