I started watching Firefly Lane on Netflix to take a break from a different a show, not knowing how wholesome or how much it would touch my heart. I’ve never left a review on a movie or tv show before. But I feel this one is deserving of one. It portrays the friendship of a dynamic duo— Kate and Tully— so perfectly, it brought back so many bittersweet memories of my sister and I. Like the different sides of the ying and yang, my sister have been all our lives, yet inseparable. My Firefly Lane friend. Up until recently, she and I have been as close as ever. Until one day certain things came about and now we no longer talk to each other. It leaves me bitter now to think all those years of undoubting friendship came to an end in just a day. I don’t want to spoil the show by any means, but somehow, certain events came about in my life exactly the same time as they transpired in the show. Almost scary how much so. The entire friendship, and even the events in the last episode of season 2… all happened to me as I watched. I’ve cried many tears whilst watching this show. Though, it brought a sort of peace to my life, and hope that there’s more to life, and sadness and perspective. All of this sounds sappy, I know. I was thinking of changing my mind about posting this… but as a reminder to myself, I need to. Maybe someone else can relate to this. There’s so much I’m leaving out, you just need to see it for yourself. It’s definitely worth it. Take care everyone.
