Meredith Grey, The Sounds of Silence (12x09)
In group settings, men are 75% more likely to speak up than women, and when a woman does speak up, it’s statistically probable her male counterparts will either interrupt her, or speak over her. It’s not because they’re rude, it’s science, the female voice is scientifically proven to be more difficult for a male brain to register. What does this mean? It means, in this world, where men are bigger, stronger, faster, if you’re not ready to fight, the silence will kill you.

Knowing is better than wondering. Waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beats the hell out of never trying.
I want my heart to stop hurting over the littlest things. I want to spend the night without being overwhelmed with sadness. I want to stop having doubt and insecurities and I want someone to love me and not get sick of reassuring me I’m not just an added annoyance to their life
me: yes self-positivity !!! i love myself! i am a ray of positivity that radiates sunshine and happiness! i am an ethereal creature! i am the light!
me: i want to die i hate myself
