it hurts but it might be the only way
"Friends". I think I'm starting to get it. And move past that superficial "omg this show is amazing" stage, and into the "no, this really was a big deal and if I think about it enough, I could completely cry because it is over" stage. And I feel like I missed out, and now I must know how those of you who are late to XF must feel right now. I mean, yeah, we watched it every week towards the end, but I never got full-on, COMPLETE OBSESSION into it. And it makes me sad. I just went through like 200 pictures and I feel something so so different. And it's so sad. Because I know when I get to the series finale this time around, it's going to be 10x worse than it was when I saw it that night. I bawled my eyes out back THEN, and that's before I'd even seen everything. In order. And seen every kiss, every fight, every inside joke. The whole momentum of it all wasn't even an issue, because I had caught it in out-of-order reruns, and therefore was unable to understand just what a real era the whole thing was. Just... everything. And their chemistry. And just... them. All of it. IDK.
They leave. 10 years with these people and then you decide to go off and have your own lives. And the apartment is empty, and those walls still hold everything that they've seen. So much laughter, so many tears, good decisions, bad ones, jobs, new life, death, apologies, anger, lessons, lovers & lobsters, twists of fate. And then you have to leave all of that and grow the fuck up. How do you DO that? How DO you leave your key?
This isn't just Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, Joey and Ross leaving behind 10 years of epic friendship. It's Jennifer, Courteney, Lisa, Matthew, Matt, and David. It's you and me. It's life. And THAT's why I'm so upset right now - Because nothing lasts forever.
