Last night I finished watching the television series The Office.
I started from season 1 episode 1 and watched all the way through. I can honestly say that The Office is one of the best tv shows I've ever watched and I don't regret a second of the time I spent watching it.
Even if it did consume a good amount of my life for a bit, I was hooked from day one!
If you ever get a chance to watch it all the way through, please do. You would never think that a tv comedy about a paper company would contain so many wonderful life lessons and really put your life into a new perspective once you finish the series.
In my opinion the finale was the best ending to a show I have ever seen. It really connected with you and made you not want the series to end.
Of course, I was a little baby and cried every time something cute happened in Jim and Pam's life. There love story will always be one of my favorites. They're love is so imperfectly perfect that they give us hopeless romantics a reason to keep believing.
Imagine going back and watching a tape of your life, you can see yourself change, make mistakes and grow up. You can watch yourself fall in love, make friendships that will last a lifetime, and deal with the hardships life throws at you everyday.
Andy Bernard states "I wish there was a way to know your in the good ole days before you've actually left them."
Take each day one step at a time. Live it to the best of your ability. If theres a problem, really step back and see if its worth the stress because most of the time it isn't. Laugh a lot and don't take life too seriously. Take any chance that your given, one day you might regret not taking it. Theres a lot of beauty in ordinary things, so don't take anything for granted.
One of Pam's final words at the end of the finale really connected with me..."I didn't watch the whole documentary. After a few episodes it was too painful. I kept wanting to scream at Pam. It took me so long to do so many important things, its just hard to accept that i spent less years being happy then i could've been. Jim was 5 feet from my desk and it took me 4 years to get to him. It'd be great if people saw this documentary and learned from my mistakes. Not that I'm a tragic person, I'm really happy now but it would just make my heart soar if someone out there saw this and she said to herself, Be strong, trust yourself, love yourself, conquer your fears. Just go after what you want and act fast because life just isn't that long."
If your life was being documented on film and 10 years later you were able to go back and watch it, would you be satisfied with the way you lived? Its never too late to make a change.
