Holy Six Feet Under, Batman
**Potential Spoilers**
Wow.
A. I can't believe that the show is over. Really truly, on Saturday, I was thinkg, "I'd love to take the folks who write/produce/concept for HBO out for a drink." Not to be a hanger on and drool over them, but literally just buy them a drink and be like, "hey, thanks for making some damn good though provoking television and having the balls to air it." Because, I mean, damn.
B. I am still recovering. And at the same time, kinda hope I never do. The end of the show left me with such overwhelming emotion that I could barely stand it. I just kept saying (through tears) that it made me feel like it's all just so BIG. Everything that seems trivial, is not so much at all - like, it may be to an outsider, but to us and those close to us, it's what makes up a life. It's what goes between the Born - Died dates - and there's so much there. And so much we continuously take for granted. Everyday and all the time. Also things we hold onto - SO tightly. We spend so much energy trying to keep things the same, and they just can't be. Won't be. To have been so immersed in these characters for 6 (?) seasons, and seeing the "rest of their lives" go by at the end really hit home that there is always so much more ahead - until, of course, there's no more ahead. What has us in a ball on the floor for a week may be nothing more than a "blip" between the Born - Died, while, and at the same time, someone or something that we initially dismiss can end up being a major part of that journey.
C. or Summation. Do not fuck around. This is it. Learn and cherish, but don't hold on because as it was perfectly put "you cannot take a picture of this moment, it's already gone."
Ugh.
As Sally Sodaro once said "you guys, we have so much to do!"
So much indeed. Today, it is overwhelming me as much as it is inspiring me, but I know that soon it will turn into pure motivation, joy and love.
ps - good thing this is National Punctuation Day and I just stunk up the room.
pps - if the 6 Feet Under Finale did this to me, what will happen with the Rent movie comes out??? What I ask???
