People often come into our lives for a purpose. A reason. But often this people leave. They change and they're gone. Or maybe it's just us who change and them who stay the same but just grow into not liking the new us.
Maybe we don't like who it is that we've become.
But then there's people who come into our lives and turn it off its axis. In just a moment you don't know what has occurred. In an instant it's all changed. It's like you've gotten surgery that improves your eyesight and suddenly the blurry images are crystal clear.
Growing up I never wished to be the center of attention. I thrived when I was working the strings of those around me, manipulating the scene and fixing the problems of those who needed me.
I didn't need people to hold me p, to give me advice, tell me what I needed to succeed. I believed that I could without help from another. I was independent. I was strong.
And then I met him. I, Olivia Carolyn Pope, stood in the back of the room, telling what I knew to be the truth. Speaking to a man who was in control of my friends campaign who was running for President. A man I didn't even know about until weeks prior when Cyrus called me up and said my expertise was needed, and felt my world being turned upside down. I couldn't breathe right anymore. I felt connected. I felt like his very being was what I now needed to survive.
And I wanted to know why and yet I didn't want to know at the same time.
And then looked into his eyes. And I suddenly realized I hadn't been living until this moment. I felt whole.
