I’m a huge LOST fanatic and have been in mourning since Saturday’s rerun of the pilot. Sunday’s finale capped off my sadness as I unleashed more tears and hysterical sobbing over (insert description of last scene- just in case anyone out there hasn’t seen it yet).
So in light of a good night’s sleep, I’ve been able to take the messages of LOST and move on to an island-less, smoke monster free world. And isn’t that what LOST was all about anyway? But why am I writing about LOST here? Well, I think the final messages are key things to remember for your divorce process.
- The things you fret and worry about are really insignificant.
- You need to let go of those insignificant things you fret and worry about.
- If you love someone, or once in your life really loved someone, that love is a light that will carry you on (even if you now dislike that person).
- Life is full of challenges- you can choose to use those challenges to redeem yourself and set yourself down a path of higher intention, or you can continue to make the same wrong choices (and be destroyed- although most likely not by a smoke monster).
- When all is said and done, life is about relationships- friendships, family, significant partnerships, etc.
- Love and joy will always overcome pain and heartbreak.
- There are always second chances.
- Love comes at the strangest moments and often from the oddest, most unlikely places.
- (And if you’re like me and will someday rewatch the entire season-) If you learn the important lessons, you can see things through different eyes. Just make sure you don’t lose what you internalize.
So that’s it. LOST is over and there will be no more new moments with my favorite island castaways. Now what do I do with my Tuesday nights?
