Looking back, what hit me the most about LOST was this idea of ‘moments’. That we all have had a time in our lives that we look back on as being ‘the days to remember’; where we found joy, found love, found ourselves. The time that most would give anything to get back to; to feel what was felt then. For everyone its something different, some days, some months, some years. However they are one in the same: Always Natural. Always Beautiful. Just as Jack was screaming to get back to the island we scream to get back to these defining moments. So we go on, honoring these ‘days to remember’, because all memories should be honored. However, human nature drives us to one fatal mistake. We attempt to force these moments again in a state of delusion and longing, we try to bring back our past joy, our past love. Here in lies the problem. These…moments in our lives…they are not able to be forced or willed; they will not bend to human desire. Ironically, this is exactly why they are so special to us. We are only given so much time with them. And all of our attempts to “go back” only hinder future moments. We must choose to let go. Choose to open our souls. Choose to open our minds. But most importantly, choose to open the door to our hearts, because we may just find more beautiful moments have been waiting to come in, all along.
