THE END?

On my last post, I talked about new beginnings......but what about endings? Today, I went to my brother's high school graduation. An end of schooling for some, the beginning of a higher education for others, but an ending of a large group of friends and people who grew up together.

But, it made me wonder.....how does someone accept that something is coming to an end?


Just about exactly one year ago, an online series called "Kate Modern" was born. Much like it's predecessor (Lonelygirl15), this show was meant to be "video blogs" by "average" people, and seeing how their lives were affected by an evil organization called "The Order". Now, I know that I'm using a lot for air quotes, but stick with me. When it first came out, many people in the States (since it takes place in London) were not a big fan, including myself. Then, within the last 6 or 7 months, I had gotten really into it. I had fallen in love with the characters, who all seemed as if they were "real" people, as if I could run into one of them in the street and see them video blogging. Then, just today, they had their series finale.



For the past month, I've known that this was coming. I made it through the first 11 out of the 12 videos today without thinking twice. Then, as the last video was put up, it hit me. This was THE END. I would no longer have Kate Modern Episodes to look forward to after school. I would no longer have 2 amazing video series to look at. And, it felt really weird.

You know the feeling that you get when your favorite TV show has a season finale, and you know that your going to have to wait 4 months for answers? That's EXACTLY how I felt. But, there would be no return, this was THE END.

Concluding everything that I have said, how does one deal with THE END? Does the end bring together a new beginning, like in the case of a high school graduation? Or does the end really have nothing more in store for you, like with Kate Modern? In both cases, everyone knew what was going to happen. The students knew that they would soon graduate, and Kate Modern was never meant to last over a single year. So how does one actually prepare?

I have no idea. Who knows, maybe I'm thinking to far into this. I mean, in reality, it's only a graduation and the end of one single tiny web series.....

P.S- If anyone knows any insiders from Lonelygirl15, can you tell them to BRING BACK KATE MODERN!!!
