Endings...

The last episode of a good TV series, one that was meant to be the last and not just happened to be, is a lot like the last day of a trip. During the past year, more or less, I tried to finish things up and now that I’m almost ready for a new adventure, here I am watching the last episode of One Tree Hill. And I end up writing this even before the end of it. I’m surprised in the end is Brooke the character that I identify with, and I’m surprised of how many things changed since I started to watch this show. When it first was aired I was in high school and I was used to record the episodes and watch them over and over again when I was home alone pretending to study. I then left home, and my beloved TV, to follow a dream while the show was still on and I’m happy I decided to watch it from beginning to end now, during this complicated time of my life. I’ve always thought movies, songs, TV series, books can teach something. Well, I realized that, as my favorite Brooke Davis did, I made a dream come true when I was really young. I feel like my life is a movie sometimes. It might be all those last nights I spend in my room remembering everything that happened during my adventures, as each night was one of my life’s many endings. But dreams can’t last forever, especially when you have others waiting to be lived, so you have to let go and go on. Same as you do with TV shows, you’re sad because you know you’re gonna miss those people, fake but yet with a lot of things to teach you, and those places that became in a certain way home. Lately I red some books that have been on the shelf since forever, I tried to read all those old Vanity Fair, I figured out what I want to do next and I understood where I am at the moment and where I would love to be in the future. The last year of my life has been kind of a last episode. Because you only need a night to relive 6 months or so, but you need a lot more time to do the same with 9 years or your entire life. I did many things during the last year, I finished up many things and started many new. And I’m so proud I figured out my next move while I’m still 28. To change your life once is a big deal, but to do it twice in less than 10 years, well I think is great. And I’m sad that things had to end, but there’s still too much world to see for me out there to be sad for long.
