Some time ago, I came up with this thought:
Life is like a movie. There are quotable quotes, comedy, songs in the background, giddy moments, tears, unexpected twists, moral lessons, villains, leading men and happy endings. But it’s completely up to you if you’d like to play the lead role or just be an extra.
This morning, I realized that it was not.
Movies, you see, are supposed to be cohesive and have a point. Life rarely does.
Life, I realized, is more like a TV series. It has all those same things I mentioned in my quote (can you call it ‘quote’ if you’re the one who said it or does it sound awfully pretentious?) but it comes in lots of episodes, not all of which necessarily have to tie together into one cohesive whole, even though the narrator insists that it all ties together in the end, promise.
And if my life is a TV series, then this blog is the TV.
Also, how crazy is it that I started this blog on the very same year that my current favorite series How I Met Your Mother began?
So kids, I’m gonna tell you an incredible story. Probably not the story of how I met your father, but who knows? I might get to that eventually. In the meantime, just sit back and enjoy season 8. Feel free to peruse the previous seasons’ archives at any point. 😉
