Last night I watched (like everyone else in the country) the season premiere of Greys Anatomy. Last season and maybe even the season before I started to lose interest in the show. I felt like they had done soooo much with the characters in the first season or two that they were really reachin’ especially last season; however, last night was a really good season opener. I am actually excited to see the next few episodes….and I must say, “Izzy” is the best, she has always been my favorite character on the show, and Oh’s “Christine” being next.  The writers are great, obviously, but for some reason I always have this “ah-ha” moment when Izzy speaks. Silly right?

Last night Izzy does it again….She ends up telling this woman that the woman has an obligation to live, to really live her life, she has an obligation to George because if George were still alive he would be living, he would be saving people’s lives, so you have to live. The girl tries to say she cant she doesnt know how. Well Izzy tells her you have to, and if you cant for yourself than do it out of respect for George, the person that saved your life……I’m totally paraphrasing here, but you get the idea even if you dont watch the show.

In my opinion this was one of the best scenes in the entire program last night. It was raw, real and just the plain ol’ truth.

So even if you arent living in some melodrama, or havent had anyone save your life today… I think we all have to live life  really live, out of respect for ourselves, for our parents, and everyone in this world that doesnt have the chance anymore. We owe it to everyone who isnt here anymore.

So stop living as if you are paralyzed or even dead when you are not, stop living as if you dont have a brain, a heart, or a soul. All of us who have our health and who are alive have an obligation to live. So just do something, anything, just try.

In my 20’s I was mostly stagnant. All I did was work and play a little. I didnt “live” much really. I attempted to go to school a couple different times, but it didnt last. In my 30’s I began to really live. I made personal changes, started my acting career, made a film, made more personal changes, started surrounding myself with better people, seeing more in life and getting more out of life, started school full time, and funny enough these 30’s have been some of the most challenging times of my life, but I have learned from all my living, and that I would never change. Now I’m 38, and I can see that my 40’s are going to be incredible because each year I live more and more. It’s not all easy and smooth, but it’s living a full life. I am not going to have any regrets, maybe some things I would never do again, but no regrets:) So, with that living comes some rough crap, heartaches,disappointments etc. but you will also experience some of the most amazing things in life and things that you could never fathom, it’s a beautiful thing.. If you are to stay in your little comfort zone you will never truly experience life, and you will miss out greatly.
