Opening :
Communication.
It's the first thing we really learn in life.
Funny thing is, once we grow up,
learn our words and really start talking the harder
it becomes to know what to say.
Or how to ask for what we really need. - dr. Meredith Grey -

At the end of the day,
there are some things you just can't help but talk about.
Some things we just don't want to hear,
and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer.
Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do.
Some things you say because there's no other choice.
Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then,
some things simply speak for themselves. - dr. Meredith Grey -

Opening :
In the eighth grade my English class had to read Romeo and Juliet.
Then for extra credit, Mrs. Snyder made us act out all the parts.
Sal Scafarillo was Romeo. As fate would have it, I was Juliet…
all the other girls were jealous, but I had a slightly different take.
I told Mrs. Snyder that Juliet was an idiot.
For starters she falls for the one guy she knows she can’t have,
then she blames fate for her own bad decision.
Mrs. Snyder explained to me that when fate comes
into play choice sometimes goes out the window,
and that I would be lucky if I ever experienced that type of true love.
At the ripe old age of 13, I was very clear that love,
like life, is about making choices.
And fate has nothing to do with it.
Everyone thinks it’s so romantic,
Romeo and Juliet, true love, how sad.
If Juliet was stupid enough to fall for the enemy,
drink the bottle of poison, and go to sleep in a mausoleum,
she deserved whatever she got. - dr. Meredith Grey -.

Maybe Romeo and Juliet were fated to be together,
but just for a while, and then their time passed.
If they could have known that beforehand,
maybe it all would have been okay.
I told Mrs. Snyder that when I was grown up,
I'd take fate into my own hands.
I wouldn't let some guy drag me down.
Mrs. Snyder said that I'd be lucky if I ever had that kind of passion with someone,
and that if I did, we'd be together forever.
Even now, I believe that for the most part, love is about choices.
It's about putting down the poison and the dagger
and making your own happy ending...most of the time.
And that sometimes, despite all your best choices
and all your best intentions... fate wins anyway. - dr. Meredith Grey -.
