Moving on can be a difficult concept in life. There are serious thing like going to college, going through a breakup, or moving to another state that are all moving on, and can be hard to deal with. There are other frivolous things, like your favorite TV show ending, or finding a new favorite TV show, that even though they not very important, somehow it still impacts you.
Today I have to move on.
Today, I learned that Demi Lovato will not be returning to Sonny with a Chance. This means that Channy will never get back together, and after a season of "So Random", I predict this new comedy sketch show will be canceled. The writing isn't the best when it comes to the sketches, and also, I think the viewers really just watched the show for Channy. Sonny was my favorite TV show. I may be 16, but I still really enjoyed it. It was funny in a really cheesy way, but I seem to find kid shows more entertaining than anything else. When realizing that my new favorite show was probably going to go away, I was faced with a dilemma. Do I remain a fan, or should I just let the show slowly fade from my life? I have been getting older, and once the second season of Sonny ended, I have been watching different shows. I've been watching a lot less Disney and a lot more TLC. At times, I forget completely about the show and have no desire to watch it. So, where do I go from here? I figure that the show will just fade out of my life, like every other favorite show has. Phil of the Future went about the same way. It was canceled while I was still a fan, and I just dealed with it and moved on. I will slowly have to "de-fan" myself. I have already changed my fanfiction account icon ( http://www.fanfiction.net/~twipi cough cough, go visit it!) to my new obsession, Tangled. I never thought I would change my icon, but here I am, moving on from one childish obsession to the next.
Demi is the one who is most importantly moving on, though. She is most definitely transitioning in her life. She is shifting her career to focus on music, and I respect that. I praise her for getting the help she needed, and if being in front of a camera is not something she can handle right now, I respect that. I care about her health first and foremost. While I wish she could finish what she started, I applaud her for making a bold move that will hopefully help her in her future. She's getting much older too. I'm not surprised if she wants to do older things. I hope that she can take the high road, unlike teen stars like Miley, and grow up in a graceful way. I wish her all the best.
Moving on isn't easy, whether the reason is frivolous, or serious and life-changing. But, it is part of growing up, and it is always going to happen. Sometimes, getting rid of the old and bringing in the new can be the best thing we can do.
