six feet under

Life is but a whisper

Funny how a TV show about death can inspire you in life.

I finished watching season five of Six Feet Under and it really gave me a kick in the gut about my life. I've tended to spend most of life lately not living, but rather existing. I'm here, but not in the way I want to be. I'm not doing what I want, but doing what I'm expected to do. And that's not fun.

The final scene in the series has Claire driving off to New York. No job, no nothing. She's embracing life.

And that's what I need to do.

And will do.
