Closure (with HIMYM)

Magad. Getting myself to start blogging/writing again has been tough. I blame it on a mix between laziness, distraction (with social media apps duh), busy with work and studies (yes i resumed working this year on a contract basis + am about to enter my final semester of LLM this September inshaAllah).

So why am I writing now? Two reasons:

1. I recently applied to be a writer for Have Halal Will Travel lol. After submitting the application there was an instruction for me to email links to previous works of mine/sample writing. Krik krik. Obviously I didn't have any sample 'casual' writings so bye bye HHWT (hence this realisation that I gotto blog if I want to try out for such positions again).
2. Netflix has HIMYM! So I rewatched the entire series - and I now have a different perspective on its finale! So yeah, didn't know who to share such views with (Ibrahim has the final season to go) hence will be expressing my views here (don't continue reading this post if somehow 4 years after the show ended, you've only decided to watch HIMYM). 😋

The first time I watched the anticipated HIMYM finale, I was livid!!!! HOW COULD THEY KILL OFF the mom & for Ted to finally be with Robin! The mom was perfect for Ted - they loved all the absolute same things, and Ted deserved a happy marital life! 😡😡😡😡 Now that I have watched the series again, I guess the ending does that make sense, it is the best ending for Ted. Why?

1. Robin has always been 'The One' for Ted - the scene of them sitting in the rain in Central Park after digging up for Robin's necklace.....absolutely heart-wrenching! 
2. The MOM (Tracy) actually already met her one (Max)..but he died. Ted was the one to come after Max. So technically Tracy had 2 loves of her life (Max + Ted) and so did Ted (Tracy + Robin).
3. Ted wanted kids, Robin did not. It would have never been a happy marriage. So for them to hook up once Ted got the whole living in suburb with kids thing out of his system, it made sense.

I feel like I have better closure with this series now. Lol. Trying to get a hang of returning to 'my blogging self' where I would post random thoughts I had - true to my very chatty and expressive nature but at the same time, I want to be a better blogger - who gives informative and beneficial posts. 👐💓

Here we go again (inshaAllah)! 😊

LOML & me as happy as can be
