raise your hand if

... you spent six years devoted to watching LOST
... you still have a million questions
... you are disappointed with the finale.



my hand remains by my side.

and not just because I'm typing.


no. I did not devote 6 years to the show. I devoted 6 days (and i mean entire days) and 4 months to the story that is 'Lost'. and while i loathed the fact that i finally got sucked in, i enjoyed (almost) every minute of it.

while i agree there were questions left "unanswered", I myself, have no more questions i need/want answered.

it seems to me, the majority of viewers have missed the point of the show.

it was never about the time traveling, or the polar bear, the brainwashing room, the tranceivers, or the heroin statues.

it was about the people.fate.faith.love.hope.loss.togetherness.

the show itself brought people together. got us talking. got us using our brains. and yes, got us focused on every detail we could possibly spot. and in the end, its not about those things at all. its about the big picture. the characters' journey's and their redeeming qualities. It's about the struggle, and the ways we deal with struggle. how the lives we lead affect the lives of those around us. and being more aware. and yes, letting go. of all of the things that you have no control over. of all of the little details that end up being inconsequential.

life will never provide us with all the answers we want, but if you let go, and stop asking "why?", accept what has happened, look at the big picture, and realize its beautiful in all of its ups & downs, and both the "What the Fuck" moments and the "ah HA!" moments.
