Characterised.

If there was a character from your favourite TV show that you believe replicates the essence of who you are, who would it be? Of course it would be totally impossible to have the exact same traits as the person but you identify with the most predominant ones sometimes. In the history of the very few TV shows that I have seen and even fewer that I have liked, I did find a couple of people who somewhat mirror me. I try not to take it too seriously so I don't find myself pretending to be in a soap opera in the face of actual reality but I must confess that being able to interpret these characters have helped me learn and unlearn a lot of things about myself.
I think my first identification started with the famous teenage sensation series "One Tree Hill". Although I did not quite start following it when it was running, I did get hooked on it while I was in the university and it instantly became one of my favourite TV shows yet. I need not go into the synopsis of the show but if you are interested, you can run a search on it and I promise you wont be disappointed.
Peyton Sawyer was the first ever character I associated myself with. She was always broody, the odds were always never in her favour and she did suffer quite a lot of heartache trying to please people's emotions and leaving hers to roast in the back burner. One thing though that made this splitting description of me easy to bear was that she was a good person.,. Lol if I don't blow my horn,who will?

Another character that I believe I feel I share certain traits with is Meredith Grey of Grey's Anatomy. If you know me, you probably already know that is my favourite TV show of all time. Infact I have said I will force my kids to watch it even if by then they would probably call it outdated. God helps anyone of them that talks smack about my darling Grey's lol. 
Meredith was a good person although slightly more flawed than Peyton. She was also a classic example of a broody and her roller coaster emotions have got to be one of biggest the similarities I share with her.

Both Peyton and Meredith found love except that it took Peyton forever to be with her's and death took Meredith's own love. God knows the only similarity I want here is finding the love. Not losing it or almost losing myself while trying to. These two girls have got to be my most favourite people in the world of TV shows. 
Who do you identify with most?
