Grey's Anatomy

when you're scared, and you don't want people to see you at your worst - you think they are going to turn away; you can't.  You can't turn away - because they aren't.  Those people (your friends) aren't going to leave you in the dust - you can depend on them.  They want to be there for you.  They want to feel your pain.  They want to understand what you are going through.  Don't feel like they are going to reject you - They showed up because they accept you.  They meet you where you are.  They don't care about your past or where you've been; what they do care about is where you're going.  They are willing to fight with you - The are willing to help lead you out; are you ready to accept yourself and move through the fear?  They see you for who you are and who you can be.  It's time to look in the mirror for the first time - since you have put your new face on and take on the world one step at a time.

Love Always
