Oh Damon..

(I was writing about this last night and was so SO close to finishing it, but then of course it magically deleted itself!!!! Right okay, let's go laDS) I was rather skeptical about writing up all of this, but my oh so lovely buddy @artemis-0811 convinced me otherwise. I could maunder on about My Mad Fat Diary for hours, truthfully speaking. However, for all our sakes, I'll try my best to keep this relatively short. If you do NOT watch My Mad Fat Diary, and have intentions of doing so, I'd stop reading here if I were you! SPOILERS ahead br0 So if you didn't know already, My Mad Fat Diary aired it's last EVER episode last night. And boy, was it emotional. I knew I'd cry, regardless of the occurrences in the episode- I just knew I would. Like many of its viewers, I have been watching since the very start of show; patiently waiting for a new series, a new episode every time. Many watchers grabbed the opportunity to watch the premiere of the last episode a few days before it's official air. For some bizzare reason, I wanted to wait until Monday. I stumbled across a gifset of Rae and Finn's conversation at the 'Leaver's ball' in the finale which I was yet to see, consolidating what many of us feared- that Rae and Finn would no longer be together. I sat watching the final installment of My Mad Fat Diary, knowing that Rinn were going their separate ways. I wanted them them to patch things over and rectify it all as much as the next MMFD fan, believe me. Despite saying that, something felt undoubtedly right in what Rae was doing. I truly believe that what she did was the best thing for both her and Finn at that present time. She was mature and she put herself first. She didn't completely rule out the possibility of them getting back together in the future, and yes, we will never know for sure if she did make that call. But isn't that the wonderful thing about it? It's leaving it up to us. You just know that Finn is rooting for her regardless, he always has been. Say if Finn had never kissed Katie Springer and Rae moved in with him; turning down her offer to study at Bristol and getting an English degree. Would you have been content with that as the final scene? Nope, me nethier. I know that some were not pleased with the way the show ended. Part of me wished beforehand that they had left it at season 2 and didn't pick it up for the other three episode too. Thing is, I admired the way Rae reconstructed everything, piecing it back together and tieing it all up with a great big bow in 45 minutes. She left a lot of it upto time, open to alteration and revaluation; much like how we leave elements of our own life like too. Things weren't left completely closed off, because who on earth has a life like that? Rae was just so refreshingly accepting of it all, and I think it's the sort of thing we need to bear in mind from time to time. I'd also quite like to talk about Chloe. I know that many fans dislike her, but I adore her. By far, she has undergone the most character development. Reflect on her in series 1, she'd prove herself in fleetingly fast moments. But from when Rae found her diary at the end of Series 2 onwards, Chloe really started to gleam for me. She's like friends all of us have had in the past, or still have today. Bound due to the long length of time you have been acquainted for, yet uncertain of whether you would be friends if you'd have met later on in life. Ultimately, Chloe cares for Rae an unspeakable amount, she loves her to pieces and would near enough do anything for her. What I will always appreciate and respect about this show is its capability to potray such 3d dimensional roles on screen; boiling down to simple, but so important looks and gestures communicated amongst and throughout the three years this show has ran for. My Mad Fat Diary has never deemed any of its characters perfect, (I mean sure, Finn Nelson sure did come close) they were all incredibly flawed and grew along with the show's progression. It shows that even Rae's 'normal' friends- her friends that didn't have first hand experience with mental health issues- had their own endevours to conquer too. The final scene is what really did it for me- It had a poignant, reminiscent and already nostalgic resonance. I quite honestly can not formulate or conjure up a resolution that could have left you feeling the way that train scene made us all feel. Complimented by the narration of Rae Earl's final entry, it made us realise how far Rae has come. That all her experiences, both positive and negative and everything in between, got her to where she is now. And I think that this is significant for all of us, whether we suffer with a mental illness or not. All of what we know, who we've known, what we've learnt and gathered, travels with us. My Mad Fat Diary is based on real diary; as I'm sure many of you are aware. Although they are many, many differences between the journal and the TV series- they are both a coming of age story. And what's a coming of age story without unexpected turns, realism and the departure from the old to the projection into the new. I'd like to thank the cast, crew and everyone who made this show possible for gifting us with such an amazing and unforgettable three years💖 If you have read this far, thank you so much! I'd love to hear what you thought of the last episode, or what sort of impact the show has had on you in general. I've never done this before and it's obviously not compulsory, but I'd like to tag a few people/mmfd blogs I follow to share their opinion on My Mad Fat Diary. artemis-0811, mmfdstuff, mmfdblog, raernundo, finnepicslice, fizzezlikecherrycola and nicomirallegroupdated
