Have you ever been cleaning or organizing and ran into some old birthday cards or letters you received over the years from people you would say you were in a destructive relationship with. You probably even forgot that these had been stashed in that old sock drawer or wherever you like to hide shit away. Maybe you just aren’t the sentimental type and you just trashed them the day you got them. However if you did do that, maybe you were right. Maybe you are the one who saved yourself here. Well in any case I find it crazy to go back and read some of the stuff this person has written after you went to hell and back with them and around and over again. You read these things that so and so wrote and you are just blown away by how sweet they once were and were able to be when you were left with the bitter thought of misery in the ending days. You would think how could something so evil ever have been created and then you are sitting here reading how much this person cares about you and on and on and on and on. Every sentence on this note/letter/card leads to another sentence as sweet as the last. It’s actually kind of sad in a way cause it just shows you how much people can change over time. Someone who used to mean the world to you may now be a complete stranger who will never really have much to do with your life again. This person who used to pour their heart out onto you while watching crappy t.v is now just as important as the stranger you walk by on the city street. Those days when you thought your world was going to implode and that the grass was never going to turn green again have now been mowed over many a season and you’ve got the greenest lawn in town. It is just amazing to me how someone who touched your life at some point and made some sort of impact on it will really never mean anything to you again. Come and gone like smoke into the wind this person is gone and over however much time you just really start to forget. Then one day you are in a hurry looking for that matching sock in the bottom of the drawer and you stumble upon “Happy whatever year Birthday” and you take a second to read it and can’t help but think what your life would be like had you still been getting those cards today.

Has there ever been in a time in your life where everything was absolutely perfect. Where everything you ate tasted better. You got a better night sleep. The warmth that you felt next to you was that of the person you thought you would spent the next million lifetimes with. When you are a kid you have no idea what you are in for. We are disney-fied from the beginning where the hero always gets the pretty princess or whatever that story happens to hold. These are the fairytales we grow up with and just like santa clause and the easter bunny and so on, the older we get the more it starts to unravel. You have no idea whats behind the door when you finally make it to the real world. When you have to think about your future and a family. See no one ever really gets you mentally prepared for the real future. Fuck high school politics of who is cool and who is not. Who ever really teaches you about love. Every chapter of it. Sure you get the “oh you’ll be fine” and the “she was a bitch, blah blah bullshit”. And you’ll put on a fake laugh, throw your shoulders up and march into the battle of another day. You’ll watch the seasons change and the things you used to do together will only be a reminder of what your little brain could hold onto. See unlike a broken arm or leg there is no cast for a broken heart. No friends to laugh and sign it and draw silly shit on it. There is no summer without the pool and then it feels fine again. This is an injury that you alone have to deal with. Through all the fake smiles and the “yeh, sure don’t worry I’m definitly over it”, there is a huge part of your heart that is far from fucking over it. Some days you will even convince yourself and go on with your day like it never made a difference in the world and you’ll believe every last drop you fed yourself and other days you’ll wake up to a soaked pillow from all the tears your bloodshot swollen eyes could produce. You ever think back to when it was absolutely the greatest time of your life. Right before it started to spoil and fade away. I had a greatest day once and I often think that if my life could have just ended that very day I would have died the happiest man alive. I never would have felt the pain and suffering of a loss that feels almost as worse as death. I would have just ended a career on a happy note and never known about what bad times could lay ahead. But see we don’t get to end our fairytale when we want to and we can’t walk out of a theater after two hours knowing the story ended happily ever after. We have to live through each day no matter what happens. We can’t plan the ending cause we have no idea where, when, or with who the ending is. So live your life the way you imagined. Show your emotions when it counts and love people who you want to be in the last chapter of your book. Cause if I could go back and end it all on chapter twenty nine, I would have only written half of it and there isn’t a publisher in the world who is going to print half a story. Write your ending the way you want to. You have the pen and the world is your paper.
“Is she happy?”
Jack Shephard: Thomas the Apostle
LOST - The Beginning & The End
Lost - Series Finale - The End/The Beginning.
Just a bunch of random ideas and thoughts about the finale that may mean nothing or may be the key to the whole series.
• Live together, Die alone was always the major theme of the show and how the characters needed to discover such a thing. They were brought to the island broken people who were alone, people that were lost, their lives were all falling apart in some way. They all had struggles, disappointments and issues. They end their journey finding love and accomplishing the things they wanted to achieve. They are no longer alone, but together with the people that came to mean the most to them.
• It was important that Jack completed his mission in saving the light because they needed this light to let go and move on together. The light on the Island that Jack saves is the light that Christian lets in at the end of the series. Whether it sends them to heaven, hell, another shrinking universe, or the island all over again is something we are left to wonder on our own. This was Jacks purpose on why he always felt the need to fix things throughout the entire series. In the end his sacrifice to the island was fixing it so that he would secure this future with the ones he loved.
• Originally we are shown flashbacks and flash forwards in seasons 1-5 that are intended to show the progress of the characters and remind them of their old ways that needed to change..the things they needed to let go of in their dead end lives..this season they were forced to remember the things they experienced on the island to come full circle and move on to the next island..world..universe..whatever it is you put in the blank when the white light comes pouring into the chuch. It wasn’t until they all remembered their island lives and each other that they were able to leave.
• They all died at different points in time however in the afterflash world time was not relevant there was no “now”…some died before Jack had died on the island and some died long long after him. Kate, Miles, Richard, Claire and Frank go on to lead full lives off of the island and die at different points in time. Kate telling Jack that she missed him so much proves that she most likely lived a full life probably decades without him and remembers that now. Hurley and Ben went on to protect the island. For an unknown amount of time but eventually die. “Everyone dies”.
• The island was real, everything that happened actually did happen regarding the island, the past, dharma, the flashbacks, the flash forwards etc.. “Whatever happened. happened”. Christian even expresses that the Afterflash is all real its just that its a meeting place that they created so that they would be able to find each other and move on together with the ones they love.
• Juliet saying “it worked” in the season premiere was not what we thought about the bomb going off and working..it was her mind slipping into the afterflash that we saw as a parallel all season. It was her talking about the machine releasing the candy while having her “remember moment” with Sawyer.
• Just because we never saw the island sink in the finale does not mean it has not sunk in the future. They show you in the end that when Jack replaces the cork and the water begins to flow again. Man in black makes a point in Across the sea to point out he will use the light and water to leave the island. Just because the island is sunk does not mean the light is out. Hurley and Ben may have found a way to move the island to the bottom of the ocean. Maybe its even how they eventually come to die as we see in the finale they praise each other for their time taking care of the island. He tells Ben that he was a great number two proving they indeed had much more island storyline than what we are shown.
• “It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.” is what we hear Jacob say on the beach in the Season five finale after the MIB tries to say that all people are the same corrupted and evil. We dont know where they are headed after the end but what we have seen until they have arrived was just progress. A steady process of perfecting flaws, growing closer together, and moving into a better life.
• Desmond was able to leave the island at some point in time because Hurley was not going to have the rules that Jacob had made up. This was his game now and he is now allowed to create the rules. Just like the man in black said to Jacob when he was asked about the rules of the black and white board game.
• David was created in the afterflash to show Jack how difficult a relationship between a father and son can be. Without this element in this life Jack would not be able to relate to and love his own father as much as he does. He was able to forgive his father and be at peace with him.
• The plane wreckage shown at the end of the show with footprints in the sand but no human beings around it may in fact represent the re-arrival of all of those in the church after Christian opens the door and lets the light in. As there are no bodies anywhere to be found reflects how Christians body was not in the coffin in season 1 or in season 6.
Sure there are many, many loose ends that are yet to be tied up..some may never be..some might be on the dvd set when it comes out in August as its been said there are 20 additional minutes of answers from the finale that weren’t crucial to the character driven series ending..But those answers are probably better left unanswered as it leaves us with the feeling we always got with lost..it leaves us debating and pondering..it leaves us wanting more and that in the end is a good thing cause if we had the answers to it all it wouldn’t be lost.
This is all written based on memory from watching the finale. I may need to add notes to this while rewatching it for a 4th time.
See you in another life Brotha.
