Goodbye Izz...
So a few nights ago, I was watching Grey's Anatomy. I love the show to pieces, but it has been a while since I found myself loving rather than just merely liking the show but this one seems to give its viewers lots of things to think about.
1. If you had a gun pointed to your head, which would you choose: the thing you love or the person you love?
We certainly hope this isn't a choice we have to make during the course of our lifetime, but more often than not do we find ourselves constantly in the midst of choosing either or. Wouldn't you agree? Izzie being Izzie obviously chose love when everyone else chose the thing they love and live for. The thing you love, according to her, isn't the one you come home too by the end of the day.
2. How do you know when you're doing the right thing?
Sometimes it's hard to figure. One way or another, the inevitable consequences of any choice is both joy and pain, depending on which party you are in. Like the old saying goes, we can't always please everybody. Owen's take? It's the right thing if it benefits the most people. But what if you're not part of 'most people'?
3. If you love someone who left you once before, do you take them back in your life?
That's a tough one! We never really have any assurances that they won't ever do it again. If they can stomach to do it in the past for all the wrong reasons, then surely it won't be so hard to do it all over again. At one point do you decide to forgive and forget, or hold yourself back? We all deserve someone who will stay, as Alex puts it. We aren't supposed to be temporary fixes. And I truly agree. But perhaps that is easier said than done right?
Oh well.
I wonder if Izzie will come back after her maternity leave. The show just wouldn't be the same now that they are slowly replacing the original cast.

Your parents are likely objecting because they fear for you. They are probably worried about how the world will react to your relationship. Being in an unconventional relationship can be difficult. The world can be a cruel place. Your parents are probably worried about seeing you struggle. Their reaction is wrong but it is based on their love for you and their desire to see you get the best out of life.
Sometimes parents cling to outdated social attitudes. They hold on to ideas that are not shared by your generation. If this is the case, if your parents are trying to get you to conform to their biases, you need to stand your ground. You need to tell them that in this situation you will never see things their way. Suggest that in this case you should agree to disagree. They probably won’t like this but they don’t have to. Objections based on bigotry are wrong even when they come from your parents."
