After almost 8 years of being part of my life, Scrubs might be over. The season, or series, finale was a poignant look back at all the characters that helped shape my young adult life (possibly explaining my man love for some of my friends) and also gave us a look at what most of our futures will be like. Like with the last episode of Friends I feel once again that 30 minute emptiness where my heart used to be.

But sometimes letting go of your past is the best option at hand.. something that Facebook needs to learn as it’s block protocols break down and I am all too reminded of my own past. But in doing so you realize that sometimes the things that once mattered don’t matter as much anymore.

I find myself sharing my wisdom with my cousin. In a strange twist of fate our lives changed radically last year almost at the same time. I share my observations about my own life and about the things I’ve done on my path to getting here and together we take that step into finding what our own futures hold for us. And we both begin to learn that in letting go of the things that bound us to our past can also mean a brighter future for us both.

Sometimes we take a long road to get to where we need to be. Sometimes it takes something drastic to push us to be the people we need to be. I think the key is that we all get there in our own way – no matter where that place happens to be.
