Getting on with Life Once a TV Series Ends
When you invest hours upon hours
in a story, the characters, the relationships, and the emotions, you form an
attachment to that TV series. Watching it and waiting to watch it becomes a
habit you can't seem to shake off. You think about what happened in the last
episode you watched when you wake up and you wonder about what will happen next
when you go to bed. You start breathing, living, and dreaming in the world of
those beloved characters. You obsess and you want to get to the end. But when
you do, it hits you like a sledgehammer.
It's not easy to move on from the
life you had experienced alongside your own. It was as if it's yours, too. You
were with them right there on the island, too. So, how to get out of the funk
and get on with your life when it's ended?
Here are 5 ways how...
1. START WATCHING A
NEW SERIES.
Well, isn't that the most obvious
option? To stop obsessing over one thing, and to start obsessing over something
else. As simple as that. Not exactly healthy. But, well, a person in need got to
do what they got to do.
2. WRITE AND
SCRAPBOOK.
Get it out, darling. Whatever it
is that comes to your head when you think of it, write it down in a separate
notebook/ scrapbook. Paste pictures, and little trinkets that remind you of
that favorite scene, write stuff about characters and write about your opinions
on a particular twist that the new season brought about. And once you have it
all poured over the pages, make a time capsule and put the notebook away for
next, say, 2 years. You will reminisce and be so damn happy when you get to see
it again.
3. START A FANBLOG.
It's the new cool. People love to
find people with similar interests. Write reviews of episodes, your opinions
about different relationships throughout the series, how it could have turned
out better, how it couldn't have been any better, characters and their lives,
the actors and their lives...blog it out of your system.
4. START YOUR OWN RANGE OF MEMORABILIA
MERCHANDISE.
If you have the funds and the
time, you can start your own range of merchandise dedicated to the series. This
will engage your creative sides and will make the ideas swirling inside your
head a beautiful reality. This will get you to stop going crazy and will be
like a productive transformation of the series in your life. Not to mention,
you will make money out of it.
Who doesn't want an amazing
pendant, or ring, or keychain, or mugs, or tee-shirts which reminds them of
their beloved series?
5. REWATCH.
Rewatch the whole series again.
Maybe then you will get over it and stop obsessing. When it becomes predictable
and not so wonderful anymore, maybe it won't be that great for you. Maybe you
will realize that all it was meant for was 2 reruns and now it's time to move
on.
Getting over something isn't easy. It takes time
and patience. A TV series is nothing different. So, try to get over it, do
stuff that might help, but if you aren't able to move on, maybe you aren't
meant to. Not yet.
(NOTE: This isn't only about moving on from a TV series. These steps can be
followed to get over anything. If it's a relationship --with friends, with
family, whatever --maybe you got to start trying. Or, maybe not. It's your
call. Take your time. With a little improvising these steps can be used to get
over anything in life. All you need is patience. And, a little faith.)
