Living Life, One 'Grey's Anatomy' Quote At a Time...

Six days out of the week, I feel like I'm a fairly normal (humor me), functioning human being.  But for two hours every Thursday night, I turn on ABC and I swear, they must lace Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice with mega-doses of estrogen because I turn into a crying, screaming at the TV mess...which, honestly isn't too far off from how I normally watch TV, just minus all the crying.  What can I say, I really get involved with my shows...

As unrealistic as it may be, I always find at least one quote from Grey's that seems to apply perfectly to how I'm feeling right at that very moment.  Tonight's season premiere was no different:

"I don't know, I think you're either born simple or you're born...me."

Some days I wonder how it is that everyone else can just "go with the flow" so easily while I stress and dwell on every little thing.  I wonder how it can be so easy for some people to just let go and I'm still holding on.  I wish that I could get out of my head less and just be in the moment...

Sure, the simple answer would be just to do it.  Live in the moment, go with the flow, let go of all of those things that you don't have control over anyway.  But...don't you think if it were that simple, I would have done that years ago???  I would love to be easy going and have the annoying knack for finding the bright side in every situation, but that's just not who I am.  And for better or worse, I've largely come to terms with that.  I over-analyze and I have the annoying knack for finding something negative about every situation.  I don't think I'm a Debbie Downer, since I've learned to keep certain things to myself, but...I wasn't born simple.  I was born 'me.'

...I believe I've exceeded my "cheesy" quota for the night...
