“ Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass. And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, and denying it doesn’t change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world, head on, guns blazing… Denial. It’s not just a river in Egypt. It’s a freakin’ ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it? ”
Grey’s Anatomy (via eletheowl)
“ Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow, but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief and heals them. ”
Leo Tolstoy (via atavus)
