The End of Something You Enjoy

Does anyone else ever have an empty sunken feeling when they finish a really great book and know there isn’t a sequel? Or a favorite tv show that will not have a second season? Or a movie with an ending that leaves you a little bit heart broken?

This happened to me the other day. I was watching one of my foreign dramas and it was short, 10 episodes. At the final episode I was left feeling so sad. It had a happy ending, but I wanted more!

So like any rational person, I restarted the series.

i’ve done this before with books and movies. Sometimes I rewatch the whole thing. Other times I just replay my favorite scenes.

I have some comfort shows like New Girl that I can skip around to find my favorite parts. Other times I quit watching the show/movie before the sad ending so I leave things on a happy note.

It’s a bummer when you look around thinking, “What’s next?” Because it’s hard to find a character you like as much as your favorite, or a series where the writing is as good.
