Greetings Dear Reader,
Twelve years of weekly thirty-minute encounters and countless
syndicated reruns are making their exit this week. The last new episode of The Big Bang Theory has aired. The behind the scenes farewell has
run as well. Over the decade and a bit, much
of how I feel has been reflected by the ensemble cast.
The writers and actors combined to make me laugh when I was
sad and when I was just fine. It may be
the show that has impacted me most since Star Trek. The nerdy side of my nature relates to the social
struggles of the characters. My eldest Son
once referred to me as a nerd with social skills.
Few know how much I struggle socially because I rarely let
it show. The inner struggles are trumped
by my desire for others to feel loved and welcomed. Still, in the quiet dark, I wrestle the fears
and foibles that I feel so define me.
This weekly half-hour sitcom always made me feel that someone related.
All good human things come to an end. I never want them to end but they do. Over the course of this show, many things in
my life have ended. All of them
relational and painful. It reminds me of
the value of a circle of friends and how much those friends are often actually undervalued. If I could speak to the cast of The Big Bang Theory, I would offer them
a hearty thank you.
I would also recall that I am not alone. I feel that way often but I have friends who
love me loyally and dearly. The journey is
hard at times. Still, there is an opportunity
to share that journey with others and I will fight to ensure that no one feels
the way I feel most of the time. It is
our love for each other, even the quirks, that makes it all possible. I love you, Dear Reader.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
