10 Years Later
Alright! So, I've noticed that I've completely neglected poor LiveJournal here for over two months now. I'm.. going to begin to fix that by making an entry, as I am right now.
To explain the title, 10 years ago, I was the little dork that fell head-over-heels for the show Xena: Warrior Princess. Though, back then, I had no idea just how heartfelt the show was, until I started watching it again last week. Well, I finished it, about 8 days later, and last night, not 12 hours ago, I found myself balling my eyes out at the ending.
Only now, 10 years later, did I come to realize all the subtext and true love felt between both Xena and Gabrielle, but even back then, I cried at the series finale. Back then, I didn't know why. I was what, 10? 11? But now, when I'm 20, I understand why I cried, and why I cried again. (I think even then I knew I liked girls. >_>)
But, this entry is not for me to feel sad about the shows end, but to honor it. I was a fan then, and a fan now, and I will be a fan for life. Xena and Gabrielle taught us things most people could never come to understand, such as the undying love two people can have, even through death, space, and time.
I only wish I can meet someone as passionate about love, as passionate about their soul mate, as I've seen these two amazing women portray.
Thank you Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor for your amazing acting, and showing us that friendship can travel even beyond a job. They are best friends in life now, passed their Xena and Gabrielle persona, and that is a sweet sigh of relief for many.
Also, for those that have never watched Xena: Warrior Princess, I highly, and I mean highly recommend that you do. It's on NetFlix, all six seasons, which is how I came to watch the show again.
Anyway, enough of my ranting, cause as you can see, I tried to keep it short.. It's almost working.
Farewell from the Warrior Princess, the "Battling" Bard of Potidaea and myself. Blessed be all. :3
