Up until recently I had never seen a whole episode of the sitcom Friends. In the past two weeks, I have binged watch all ten seasons. Here are my thoughts:
1. I now understand why its probably still the most watched sitcom. I literally just finished season ten not even 24 hours ago and I'm ready to start at season one again.
2. Being at the age that the characters were on the show, I feel like maybe I'm not so behind in the times. I don't a solid relationship, I don't have kids, and that's okay. If it happens, it happens. No need to rush things, or ever do things at all.
3. I am in love with Matthew Perry. Watching all ten season back to back, I saw the weight changes (I actually thought that maybe they were filmed out of order because in one season he's chunky, and then two seasons later he's chunky again). I saw the dullness in his acting. It wasn't until after I watched the show when I was Googling him (don't judge me) that I read that he had a drug problem and it all clicked for me. He was the youngest on the show. By far my favorite. Despite his addiction, he still rocked everything he did on the show. I am proud he's kicked his issue and now speaks openly about it. So Matthew, if you read this and you're single, I'm not judgemental and I am very much looking for an older man who wants to have fun and love without all the marriage and babies thing.
4. Having six friends is great. No matter what there will always be someone to talk to, to go out with, to reflect with. Having one or two close friends is great. But I can see the appeal of having a small group. I think I missed that. I think that I am a good friend, but when it comes to staying in touch with people or gaining a new friend, I think I lack the ability.
5. Family is everything. Even if that family isn't blood. Family is who you want it to be.
