Epiphany

Grey's Anatomy Quote:

Meredith: At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, and once in a while people may even take your breath away.

This is my favourite quote. It's rife with the world's potential. 2007 was a rather rough year for me, healthwise, and as much as I love to bury myself in the fairy tale, it's reality that really got me through it. The reality of people. Not the dreams and visions of far away places, not the delicious soaking up of words from books (as much as I love books), but the love and support of those around me. At one point I was robbed of my passion--incapable of reading and writing--and it really made me view the world in a different way. Without your passion, what is left?

People. And I realized that people should be my passion.
