Lost

I have had so many people ask me lately, 'Why are you so obsessed with Lost?' 'Isn't Lost over? You're re-watching it? Why?'

I've decided to give everyone my reasonings for watching Lost. If it does not make sense to you...I don't care.

When I began watching this show I loved it from the first episode. Why? It was captivating. It grabbed me and sucked me into it and I couldn't stop. It started out as such a normal good show for me. And then I saw the episode titled 'Walkabout' it shows a character by the name of John Locke in a wheelchair. But once he lands on the island, BAM, he can walk. And the moment he stood was such a heart stopping thing for me. It was just WOW.

And then more and more episodes that I watched, had more and more heart racing moments. There was a drug addict, who was having major withdrawals, and he had a packet of heroine. Someone told him he could ask him back for his heroine three times. And on the third, he'd give it to him. Well, Charlie, the druggie, asked him three times. On the third, he threw it into the fire. It was beautiful.

Then there was a couple, a korean couple, who seemed to have a really bad marriage. The husband always told her to cover up, button up your top, all that other stuff. On one episode, she was swimming in the ocean in a bikini, he got really mad and told her to never do that again and he covered her up with a thin cloth. Well, events unrolled and at the end of that episode, she stood there, on the beach, with the cloth wrapped around her. The wind picked up and she let the cloth fly away and the camera went down from her head to her feet and she was wearing that bikini. She was showing she was standing up for herself. It was beautiful.

I could go on and on about stuff like this but I'll get to my point.

All of the survivors of oceanic 815 were not there by accident. They were brought there for a reason. And as the show unfolds, so does that reason. What I find most wonderful, is they were all given a second chance. A chance to start over, get their lives back, on the island. And I realized how much I would kill to be in one of their shoes.

I won't get into the details, in case you're reading this and you've never seen Lost and there is a chance you might. But this show for me was more than just a show. It helped me believe in the fact that everything does happen for a reason. And even though you have had a horrible past, you do have a purpose, you ARE needed for a greater purpose, and that to me is something worth believing in.

This show has taught me so much. It's taught me about stopping temptation, about loving someone, about accepting the fact that you're different. About life in general. I don't expect most people to understand, because some people are probably like, wow Taylor this is sad, it's just a frikin TV Show. No, no it's not. It's so much more than that.

I could tell you over and over again how beautiful this show is, but I won't. I just wanted you to understand what this show has done for me. Even if I didn't really make sense, at least you know pieces of why. Watch it, and maybe you'll be able to put those pieces together.
