Anais Nin: You live like this, sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you read a book… or you take a trip… and you discover that you are not living, that you are hibernating. The symptoms of hibernating are easily detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of pleasure. That is all. It appears like an innocuous illness. Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this) without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car. They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and saves them from death. Some never awaken.

Grey's....

Have you seen the latest episode of Grey's Anatomy?
The one where the homeless guy's broken leg bone was stuck inside his chest?

Not only that, but another part of the story was weird.

WARNING!!! IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE LATEST EPISODE, THEN YOU NEED NOT READ THE REST OF THIS POST. IT CONTAINS SPOILERS...

SPOILER ALERT

So, Izzie is being haunted by Denny...yeah, her dead fiancee (the one who the Free clinic is named after) Even though I really don't like her character that much, mostly because she reminds me too much of myself (ah! a revelation), I'm feeling for her. Anyone who has ever lost someone, or has broken up from a horrible relationship understands where she's coming from. 
Being haunted by someone isn't fun. It's painful...

I finished watching the episode a couple of minutes ago shaking my head in disbelief and shock and pain, because Denny has been following her all around the hospital, making comments on her cases and also talking to her at inconvenient moments. NOT FUN.
But here's the part that I can't get over.
So, she realizes that she's being haunted by him and then, thanks to the advice of a patient who advises her to burn all of the things that she has that belongs to Denny, she asks Alex to burn his sweater. 
Great Right? Ya know, he won't be haunting her anymore...?
NO. The audience couldn't be more wrong.
She goes into her room and he's sitting on the bed.
Throughout the episode, Denny kept telling her to touch him to make sure he was real, and she kept resisting. Why? Because he's DEAD!! And any form of him that keeps following her around is a ghost.
So he keeps telling her, "I'm here for you, Izzie... Touch me."
She finally touches him at the height of disbelief...
and her hand rests on his chest. And he embraces her. 
WHAT THE HELL....
How can you explain that shit?!!!
Shonda, you are really laying it on THICK aren't you. 
Thanks for making me obsessed.
