May 06, 2004 ( Thursday, May 06, 2004 ) Today is a sad day. Today I have to say goodbye to a group of friends that I've known and loved for almost 10 years. That's right. FRIENDS is over tonight. The last show, the finale...this is it. Friends was always something that I could rely on. Thursday night at 7 (or 9) I could count on them to be there to make me laugh when I needed it the most. To some people it was just a show, to me it was an important part of adolescent life. Those 6 friends were there no matter what. Words can't really describe how much it meant to me and how much I will miss it. Yes, I know that reruns will take the show into oblivion, probably going on for longer than we realize, but it's still sad to know that there aren't going to be any new episodes. I feel as if a part of me is leaving. What do I have to look forwards to on Thursdays now? I have a goal. To own all of the seasons on DVD. I've got one (and another season on VHS). I want to have them so that I can always turn to them. They were there for me. To me it wasn't just a sitcom. It was a look into how a group of friends should work. I look at them and I look at my group of friends and I want them to be almost similar. I want to have those comedic moments, but I also want the bonding, the support. It was so much more than just a show. It was, and always will be a part of me. People may think that it's silly or dumb, but I don't care. Friends instilled so much into me. It helped me with self-esteem, with confidence, it gave me something to look forward to when times were bleak. If my actual friends ever ditched me, then I had a backup group. Today marks the end of something that was so important, so crucial to me, I will miss it more than I think. There's a little bit of all the characters inside of me. A little bit of Chandler's sarcasm, a little bit of Monica's competitaveness, a bit of Phoebe's quirkiness, a bit of Ross' geekiness, a bit of Joey's dimness, and a bit of Rachel's preppy-ness. They're all inside of me because they helped me grow into the person I am. Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, Joey and Ross....thanks for the memories, thanks for the laughs. Thank You.  |
