Why Chuck means a lot to me.
I know I’ve gone on stupid writings, and rants talking about my feelings and past. But I want to just express something as it just happens, and for me the ending to the show Chuck is one of the most important things to happen in my life.
First let me say, Chuck is a great show, and I’ve enjoyed every season, some more than others, but overall its a great show. The reason its so special to me, is because back when my ex broke up with me, and broke my heart to put it nicely, Chuck was one of the first things I discovered after being single. I knew of the show, and saw 1-2 episodes, but back then I wasn’t to interested and I didn’t watch a lot of tv.
Finding the show Chuck was one of the very few comforts I had in those trying times. I’ve had an interesting exciting and eventful life, but up until that point I can safely say, that was my lowest point. Emotionally, physically, mentality, everything about me was low. I didn’t know who I was, where I was going, or what I wanted, I resorted to drinking Jack every night to numb and dull the pain and discovering Chuck was something that gave me joy and laughter. To me, it helped curve that enormous pain and suffering I was feeling. I can go on about my breakup, but I want you to know, this breakup on top of my entire life of neglect and isolation really came to a boil, and I’m lucky I didn’t do anything that could ruin my life forever.
Now with the ending of Chuck not 10 minutes past, I have to say, it feels cathartic in a way. The show is over, its done, and finished. There won’t be another season, and with how I’ve gradually got over a lot of my issues, and working on more, with the ending of Chuck it almost feels like its helped me weather one of the worst parts of my life. You could say I’m putting to much thought and feeling into just a TV show, and you’d be right, I am, but at this moment I’m very sad and also ready to begin a new part of my life. Does a TV make me say this? No, but how I feel now, today, and when I started watching that show a few years ago, I can’t help but think, yes I am different, yes I am ready to move on, and I’m ready to start a new chapter. My 3 year soul searching is over, its time to pick my path, and never again be the Josh that I was resentful, ashamed, and embarrassed about.
Thank you Chuck for being one of the very few comforts that had helped guide me through a tough spot.
