a ‘lost’ era.
it’s rare, at least for me, that a television show not only roots itself in my routine over the years, but that its phases also sometimes mirror those in my own life. watching the series finale of ‘lost’ tonight was both exciting but also rather sad, as it demanded a farewell to so many characters i’ve come to care for, more deeply than i had even realized. it also just so happens that this finale aired one week before my upcoming move to a new apartment; a move which heralds my exodus from a familiar building and neighborhood of seven years, and also of my living with roommates.
when i felt the emotion welling up, during the final scenes of ‘lost,’ i realized that it was the closing of so many chapters that was the root of the poignancy. there’s a lot i must say goodbye to this week. and though the excitement of change cannot be denied, those goodbyes are going to be tough. so, jack, kate, locke, sawyer, jin & sun, desmond, sayid, hurley, upper west side, and all the roommates i’ve adored - i will miss you.
