"Change, we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind. And it hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes change is good. Oh, sometimes change is . . . everything." -Grey's anatomy.
Boy, I absolutely love this show. And NO, it's not ONLY because of Patrick Demsey. He's just part of the reason- a big part, but a part nonetheless. The reason why this show is a favourite is because of dialogues like the one above. It's such a beautiful one, so profound and so apt.
So the reason why I chose this particular dialogue is because of the huge change that I'm currently going through. In my previous post I mentioned that I'm leaving for med school next week - well that's the thing! I'm LEAVING NEXT WEEK. I'm completely freaking out!
Now, as a kid I did move around a lot, so I'm not exactly a stranger to change. So logically, you would think that change wouldn't really scare me anymore, but that's untrue. No matter how often your life encounters change, somehow I don't think anyone ever actually gets comfortable with it.
I'm constantly worrying about stuff like-
'Will I find good friends?'
'Will I get along with my roomate?'
'Will I be able to handle the course load?'
I KNOW that this entire exercise is futile. BELIEVE ME- I'm well aware of this fact! That doesn't exactly discourage me from repeatedly torturing myself with thoughts like - ' What if I hate everything?' ; Clearly, the worst of the all the doubts that plague me.
What's even more surprising is that I've changed schools often enough and I know things always work out. Everyone learns to adjust and adapt in time. These changes have also helped shape the direction of my life! So I'm just going to have to hope that this one works out too :P
Let's see how it goes when I get there *fingers crossed*
