grey’s anatomy rewatch  •  season 3 “i feel like i’m moving in slow motion and everything around me is moving so fast… and i just wanna go back to when things were normal. and i’m just stuck. and there’s all this pressure ‘cause everyone’s hovering around me waiting for me to do something or say something or flip out or yell or cry some more. and i’m happy to play my part. i’m happy to say the lines and do whatever i’m supposed to be doing if it will make everyone feel more comfortable. but i don’t… i don’t know how to do this. i don’t know how to be this person. i don’t… i don’t know who this person is. how did this happen? how did we end up here? why am i alone?”
