Pop culture while it can seem shallow in some ways, can also transport you. I have been reminded of this in the past few days as I have rediscovered one of my great television loves -- "Felicity."
While not a lot of people remember "Felicity," I loved this show. It is a quiet and understated program about a girl who decides to take the first real risk of her life by heading to New York to go to college. The first few episodes are about her conquering the fear of going from the comfort of her parents' home in California to the fictional University of New York.
It reminds me of my current state of stress and confusion. I am heading toward this huge risk, leaving West Virginia permanently for the first time since I was a child. Right now, "Felicity" is offering me some comfort food. Some strength in remembering that all things happen to help drive us forward, to do what helps us grow.
So, I long to be strong like "Felicity" in the coming weeks.
