And instead of the Tony award scene, it could've been Rachel, getting out of a car, walking to Finn's grave, and telling him what happened, and how she wishes he could've been there. And then telling him how she met someone, and how she's happy.

And then you go with the Sue speech.

i don’t know about you, but i am gonna miss it. for a long time.

because this show helped me when i was feeling down, when i was feeling like i don’t belong. maybe i don’t have huge problems like some peope do, but i do have problems - and watching glee helped me, i don’t know, believe in myself, believe, that i am worth something (just like one tree hill did, but later).

maybe i am not happy with everything that happened (like tartie), but it won’t stop me from watching this show over and over again (but maybe after my exams which happens to be in 4 weeks).

     Glee was never a perfect show, not by a long shot, but like its imperfect characters, it was better that way. This show about a high school glee club should never have been as big as it has. Most shows are about heroes, superhuman or mortal, the big men and women on campus, so to speak. Glee had its share of popular characters, but it also celebrated the outcasts. The kids on the outside looking in, and that’s where it found its audience.

     When I found Glee, my freshman year of college, it was in its second season, and I had never felt more at home with a television series in my life. I felt lost, I still do at times, but this group of high school kids helped me begin to find my way. I learned how to be a much more accepting person because of Glee, both of others and myself. I gained worldviews that I had never had the opportunity to experience in my small south Louisiana town. Glee took me through a lot of great times, as well as quite a few bad. It taught me about love and loss, success and failure.

     It seems silly to say that a TV show helped shape the person that I am today, not in small, insignificant ways, but in major, life changing ways. Kurt Hummel and Blaine Anderson allowed me to accept my sexuality; I was able to acknowledge to myself that I was queer for the first time in my life because of their relationship and their courage to be who they were, no matter how hard it was at times. Rachel Berry showed me that it was okay to dream big and shoot for the stars, but to make sure that I appreciated what I already had in life as well. Quinn Fabray and Santana Lopez taught me that being a strong-willed woman was not only okay, it was admirable, but so was the sweet, loving, caring nature of Brittany Pierce. Tina Cohen-Chang taught me that standing up for myself was important, but so was being a good team player that strove to make those around me the best versions of themselves too. Artie Abrams made me understand that people are so much more than the things that hold them back. Finn Hudson made me realize how special life is, that I should enjoy every minute that I have on this earth.

But I want to thank all of you with which I got the chance to experience this amazing journey. And yes, we were on our couches or on our beds, virtually screaming and not so virtually crying, but so much has been learned. So much has been made ours.
