:: Something I read on the internet and I really
liked - yes, How I Met Your Mother ending wasn't perfect but well, it teaches us that
neither is life. We don't always get what is perfect... what life is - to make
the ends meet in the best possible ways. I will always be annoyed and upset...
I will always fight that Tracy should be alive... I will never ever consider
watching the Finale ever again, especially the scene after the story is
over............ nonetheless, I have given you 9 years, I can't stay mad at you
forever. It will take time however! ::
I read an article
written by someone who counters the people who hated the ending. Firstly, I
really liked that article. It was very nicely written.
Of course, I am
still very much adamant on the fact that 'Tracy' was the only one for Ted and
it is she who should have been with him, forever. However, there was a very
beautiful thing that I realized through the article - HIMYM had a beautiful
ending, it wasn't perfect (see others see that too!) but HIMYM wasn't about
perfection either... It showed life with all its twists and turns. It showed
life what what life really is... and Life, my dear friends, is not perfect.
Yes, the perfect
ending would be that when Ted finishes the story, the mother would come from
one of the rooms and taunt him playfully that is he reciting the story all over
again? Maybe she and the kids would share few laughter before Ted would join in
and then we would see a happy family - the kind of family, Ted always wanted...
the kind of life he deserved!
But, well hey - no
one does get what they want - life's not that perfect and eventually, you learn
to get along with this fact.
To be very honest,
what I hated the most or the reason why I am so hurt is because Ted and Tracy,
both have been through A LOT! It was only fitting that they shouldn't have to
go through more. We all have been with Ted - being left at the altar... running
away with a bride... going after a girl for 9 years, only to know that she is
the one and you can only be her friend... and Tracy, on the other hand, loosing
Max wouldn't have had been easy. Of course, we didnot see Tracy as much as we
did Ted but in a way, I think that it was only fitting that the two should be
together. They are like made for each other.
Both of them think
that there is this one person in their lives who they love and who is the only
one destined for them. Whatever may be the reason, that one person is also the
person who is just not the one who can stay with them. Somewhere, they live their
lives trying to find love, only to find in the end that they have not let go of
that person that possibly, they never will be. To Tracy, Ted was the fresh
start - answers to all her questions since Max left... and to Ted, Tracy was
the only woman who ever freed him from the ghosts of his past relationships
with Robin. She accepted him the way he was, with all the things he did for
Robin and others... remember, she even had him dressed for the slutty
pumpkin... and that was the adorable thing about the couple. Both of them were
incomplete because of some other person but they both completely each other...
perfectly!
Of course, because
of their past experiences, they both wanted a perfect wedding - this is also
because of the fact that they were peas in a pot - both hopelessly romantic -
but this never stopped them from sharing love. They both spent years
together... having kids and seeing them grow. In my culture, such a
relationship is not generally seen with respect but I see theirs with a lot of
admiration. I learned from them that a wedding is not required to keep your
vows. It is more important to be there, for always.
Tracy never burdened
herself onto the group... she knew she was the late entry but even being so,
she never pulled Ted out. She was happy to be a part by hearing the stories and
sharing hers with Ted.
Tracy McConell, you are one lady I
wish I would grow up to be. You are kind hearted and charming. You are
understanding and at the same time demanding. You are definitely my
inspiration.
Yes, I totally loved
the character of the mother but there is also another reason that I hated the
finale - ROBIN DOESN’T END UP WITH TED! I mean she shouldn’t. Oh common… not
once.. Not twice… but three times the two hooked up in 8 years and not once did
Robin realize how much Ted loved her? And she didn’t even realize when she was
there searching for her locket and the only one who turned up was Ted, despite
the fact that he was the only one who had a real reason not to? I mean he does
everything for her… as in everything he does is all for her and she never sees
it. How can this girl be the right choice for him?
You know, it was
already hard for me to accept that but having some chat with friends who like
that Ted ended up with Robin, somewhere I am more determined that Robin was the
wrong choice. The honest confession is that yes, I could have coped up somehow with
the mother being dead but Robin is unacceptable. If it had to be Robin, firstly
it should have been her long back… it shouldn’t have taken this long for her to
realize. And then, if it was Robin then the entire point of the story is lost!!
Somewhere the mother was the one who helped Ted get over Robin. She was the
reason that Ted could finally love…
I guess, I am
complaining again. Anyways, like I began… just because of 2 episodes I can't be
mad into a 9 year long journey. Yes, it will take a lot of time and not to
forget that I will never, never accept that Tracy can die or Robin is the one.
However, I have loved the show. I know it was hell for like 10 days before the
finale when each day I counted the moments. I didn't sleep on Monday night
because I had to see the episode first thing when it came on Tuesday. You see,
I can't be mad at it forever. I am disappointed and I will be, maybe forever
but yes, I can't be mad forever.
Inshallah, I will
definitely write my version of the finale and who knows, one day, just one day,
the creators might read it and all I wish is that they would smile out of joy.
