Sandra Oh with the 10 seasons, ready to
take our girl home. Home being any place
where brilliance is something more than an
expected career and an insatiable motivation.
Cristina Yang waits on set exhausted, ready
to stop playing ankle to an ungrateful foot, a
wicked anatomy. What a wonderful way to
go out - on her own terms, bossing up another
country, placing heart in her hand. Heart
thumps lub-dub and she hears the real song
bump this-is-mine. And still, she uses the
other hand to pull white girl back down to
earth, telling Meredith it might be time to
come correct. Spent a full decade playing
genius soldier to a crying child. Now, building
all four chambers, valves and muscle. Can’t
trust a writer, a friend, anyone at all with
her heart. She might as well build it herself,
might as well reinforce it. And she’s ready
to set the whole world on ice -- stop it and
dissect.
        Sandra Oh says what an
honor it has been,
        which is to say you’re welcome .
Being model never did us any good, never will
do Cristina any good. Go be free now, despite.
Nothing extraordinary ever comes from building
things for people who never built us anything.
Legends are born when we take back our
character(s). Build it all and remember to build
it for you.
