Friday musings
I'm trying to write more as a regular habit. There's a lot that goes on in this brain and heart and mind, but sometimes, I keep it too bottled up inside.
The last week has brought out a lot of emotions in me with the finale of Lost. Of course, it's just a TV show, and I know that. But it's also the end of an era for the community. We will still talk about the show for years to come and will still will be friends, but we've lost the thread that keeps us together. I'm so thankful for these online friends (and some that have transformed into real-world ones thanks to last weekend). I'm a little worried that we'll lose our tenuous grip on our friendship. But maybe I just need to have faith that we found each other in the first place, so things will continue.
I feel a bit like I did at graduation. You're excited that everything is ending and a new chapter is here, but it's terrifying too. It's been harder in a weird way to watch other finales. Everything seemed more pointed. It was a bummer to see Law & Order go (the unappreciated genius) and Fringe and Bones both seemed rather sad. But thankfully those are coming back! I was not moved in the least about Simon's last show on American Idol.
There is more to life than TV. I know that. I really do.

I couldn't have said it better. I know exactly how you feel. The ending of Lost means that we just have to work a bit harder to keep our friendship alive. I am grateful that, even though our friendship started because of Lost, it goes much deeper now. I am very confident that we will be friends for a very, very long time. Thank god for twitter and other social media places.
