Once, during my college days, I was fed up of watching a lot of movies that I decided to watch an English Series for a change. And that was when I decided to see what all these hype was about F.R.I.E.N.D.S. And that is when my addiction towards it started.
Once I started watching it, there was no stopping. I was just burning through all the episodes in such a speed that my parents got worried about me because I use to laugh so loud in middle of the night that they would wake up! š I was able to complete it within a month, watching it night and day during any possible free time I get.
That was when I realised that I found the perfect cure to all the problems. I don’t mean that the incidents from the episodes helped me directly, but watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. would distract me from my problems, cheer me up when I feel like I can’t get up and put a smile on my face when I’m all teary eyes. It would give me some amount of distraction from the problem by cranking me up so hard and get me in a lighter note so that, after sometime if I look at or approach the situation, I am able to percieve it from a newer angle, thus giving me the confidence that I never had before.
From that time on till now, not a week has passed since i haven’t seen F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I would just close my eyes and keep on clicking in the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. folder since any random episode shoots up ( :P) and I feel free from my worries for that 20 minutes.
Doesn’t feel like doing anything? Watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
Feels like you have no one? Watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
A really bad day at college? Watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
Wanna get away from all the chaos outside? Watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
Got hurt by someone close? Watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
Saturda night and no plans? Watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
Feels like a loser? Watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
F.R.I.E.N.D.S. has helped me cope up with many major problems in my life than any other real , living person. I may seem delirious to some who haven’t watched it, but those who have will be able to get me š
It has a made a total addict from which I never want to come out of.
I’m really thankful for F.R.I.E.N.D.S. for being an ‘Anchor’ in my life when no one was!

I haven’t watched FRIENDS but not all the episodes and yes when I was in high school it really helped to just make me laugh and feel better or forget about stuff.

I feel the same way about “The Big Bang Theory”! When I’m watching that show, it’s like I have a whole house full of friends visiting that let me know it’s okay to be different, quirky, myself.

“So no one told you life was gonna be this way ,
Your life’s a joke you’re broke your love life’s D.O.A
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear
When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but
I’ll be there for you ”

Amusing post š I am glad that you find FRIENDS such a stressbuster. However, I personally did not like this show much when I saw a few episodes. Rare as it might be…I actually find comfort in Hindi TV sitcoms.

Everybody has their own choices. Actually, in the beginning, FRIENDS may not seem interesting. If you give it a try for a season, then you might even like it.
