Aside from the fact that this is the title of Glee Season
Three’s finale, I actually want to talk about goodbyes.
No need to get sentimental now. The episode almost brought
me to tears, but it didn’t. What I really want to talk about is having to face
the future.
Like most of the Glee characters who graduated during the
episode, someday we’re all gonna have to step out of our comfort zones and take
a huge leap into the unknown. It made me realize: What do I have in store for
me? I know that not everything will be served to me on a platter. So…what do I
plan to do? What do I want and how will I reach them?
Well, I do have a plan. It’s a work in progress. But until I
reach that, I’m gonna have to keep an open mind, so I don’t miss out on all the
amazing opportunities that are bound to come across me. Don’t get me wrong- It’s
good to have a plan for your future. I’m just saying you should be ready for
unexpected twists and turns. Life’s not a straight road. It’s curved and bumpy.
There are traffic lights too. Be patient, if you wanna reach your destination.
Back to the Glee episode: some characters were faced with
some obstacles that, I’m sure, won’t be resolved until the next season. An
example is Kurt Hummel (the openly gay kid who faced a lot of struggles with
his sexuality, but achieved a lot throughout the three seasons) who auditioned
for the New York Academy for the Dramatic Arts (N.Y.A.D.A; a fictional college)
and didn’t make it. What will happen to him? Nobody knows yet, but Kurt isn’t
one to give up.
Another character, Santana Lopez (a cheerleader), has big
dreams involving fame and fortune. But the thing is she doesn’t know how to get
it. We’re all like this at times. We know what we want, but aren’t determined
enough to grab them. Near the episode’s ending, Santana decided that she really
wanted to go to New York and fulfill her dreams.
One of the show’s highlights, centers on the main character,
Rachel Berry (the Jewish girl with big dreams and talent to match). She
dedicated most of season three preparing to enter N.Y.A.D.A. to ready her for
Broadway. She got in, but she didn’t want to go to New York without her boyfriend,
Finn Hudson. In the end, she had to let him go to face her future. Like I said,
we must accept changes, and step into our future, no matter how painful it is.
And with that, I say goodbye to Glee Season Three, goodbye
to Rachel Berry, and goodbye to inhibitions regarding my future. You should do
the same. Let’s all say goodbye to stress and to all our worries. If there’s a
will, there’s a way. J
