An Era Over

I would say that anyone who knows me well or basically just follows me on social media or even has a conversation with me, will know that I get a little obsessed with things I like. This can be said for TV shows. For years I have lived and breathed Greys Anatomy. It has been my favourite show for years. It has been on the air for a decade... an entire 10 years. 

Forever my OTP
I have laughed with the characters, cried with their pain and felt their joy. Shonda Rhimes has just had a way of making me feel as if I knew them. 

My favourite character was always Cristina Yang because I could relate to her so well. She was my spirit animal (in human form). Everything her character stood for, I saw in myself. I was heart broken when I found out she was leaving the show at the end of the 10th season. But I was so happy when she got to leave as a happy and independent women. Not leaving or chasing after a man. She was content with herself and accepted who she was. There was really no better way for her to leave. I cried happy tears for this departure. 

Now my OTP has always been (and will always be) Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd. Everything from the start (from meeting in a bar), through everything they have gone through. I don't know what it is but their story together just made me feel love. It's dorky I know, but those two just made me feel things. So you can image my crushed heart when they decided that they would kill him off during the 11th season. He's there (after being absent for a large part of the season) and it's like he is going to be happy again with Meredith. Then BAM, hit by a truck. Bam, dead. Two minute scene for a funeral. Nothing. It was not the ending I think he deserved. The grieving of the characters over time, I understood. But Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd deserved more than that as a goodbye. 

And this is why it is the end of an era. The end of my OTP. This is the last season of Greys Anatomy I will watch. Meredith is the main character, after all the show is named after her, but I can not (and refuse to) watch it without McDreamy. Too many main characters are gone, they try to replace them with new interns, but it's not the same. The show has run it's course. Many people believe that it should of stopped a few seasons ago. I love watching Greys Anatomy after a long week on a Friday afternoon so naturally I never wanted it to end. But I think it's time now. 

It will always be my favourite shows and the characters I loved for years will always be remembered (because I am naturally the biggest dork and lamest person ever).

But seriously, I would love for someone to tell me I am not the only person who is crazy obsessed with a TV show like this and cries when their favourite character is killed?? 

Thanks for reading my crazy rant. Until next time!
