So I've had a mini-Dawson's Creek marathon this weekend I'm house-sitting and I kind of planned to do this because I haven't had a DC fix in a while. I used to watch it every Wednesday night. Then it was on TBS and my roommate and I would set our alarm clocks freshman year just to watch it. I haven't really seen it since then and I kind of missed it. So I bring home my dvds and plan this mini-event because I know I'm here by myself at night.
I really hated season three. Out of everything, it was my least favorite. It's the year that Pacey and Joey get together and I can remember hating this season. I refused to watch it again. I hated the fact that Joey chose Pacey over Dawson. I believed in soul mates and best friends living happily ever after. I believed that life couldn't get in the way of love and that two people like Dawson and Joey would always end up together.
But now, as I watch it again, I find myself rooting for Pacey and Joey. I realize that Dawson, despite his love for Joey, wasn't the right person. And that she was better off without him. I think part of it is because I did the whole Dawson thing. I fell in love with my best friend. I had always loved him and I opened my heart to him in a whole different way. And I know that it didn't work. There was no way that it possible could have worked.
Now, I can look at Dawson's Creek and root for Pacey because I hold out hope for my own Pacey. For the boy who will buy me a wall and drive hours to come pick me up when I call in the middle of the night. For someone who will help me to grow and be whatever I decide to be. Dawson never allowed Joey to grow up. He wanted her to be the same girl he remembered from the time they were young. Pacey grew up with her and helped her along.
I just have to find my Pacey. But I'm not in any rush.
