Last week I finished a television series called Gilmore Girls. It took me a year and a half to finish it. For some of you, that may seem like a long time. For others, they may be thinking “I binged that in 4 months.” Regardless, that is how long it took me and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I loved the relationship between the main character and her daughter. The sincerity and love that passed between them was awe-inspiring and something I definitely did not have when I was growing up. Their closeness of friendship was often tear-jerkingly emotional, yet comical and entertaining all in one episode! It was bittersweet to see the relationship change through the seasons yet still remained (for the most part) a close bond of mother and daughter. The relationship between the main character and her parents, on the other hand, was rather trying at best. You could feel each side’s emotions in a semi-tolerative, somewhat enduring, yet relatively amusing and sad sort of way that I think most people can relate to on some level.
The writers did a good job with the dialog, and my interest was held for many binge-worthy hours of pain.
Yes, having both Lupus and Fibromyalgia is a rough business to manage day-to-day. Rest times are crucial to our survival. Good shows like that are helpful in aiding those dealing with chronic pain by keeping their minds off all the other issues they deal with daily. I know the show helped me!!
