friends

this semester, i took the time to watch all 10 seasons of friends, the greatest sitcom ever. today i completed my journey with the series finale, and, admittedly, i shed a few tears.

isn't it amazing how easily we can connect with tv shows and fictional characters? especially with a show like friends, that aired for 10 years, with so many people watching and hoping for stuff like ross and rachel to end up together, or for chandler and monica to get a baby, or for the show to just never end.

i think it's because deep down inside, whether we want to admit it or not, we want to be 1 of the 6 on the cast of friends. something in us wants to belong to a group, to be loved, and for things to never change.

the more this semester flies by, the more i realize that the end of an era is quickly approaching. and not just any era, but a really good one at that.

but i guess the nostalgia can wait until another time -- for now, i'm just gonna enjoy the rest of the ride.
