Hello my little faces. Today’s post hurts more than I think that it will. I will not write spoilers for the show just the main plot, so… you can keep reading ( if you want to ).

15 years ago – on September 22, 2005 -, on CBS channel premiered a new crime show titled “Criminal Minds”. On this show, the viewers had the opportunity to follow a special FBI team, the BAU ( Behavioral Analysis Unit ), through their cases about serial killers, terrorists, and individuals which no-one else had the means to catch.

One year after the premiere I started watching it as well. I was 14 and my dream was to become a cop when I’d grow up and I liked to watch shows like this one. I never thought that I will end up loving it so much though. Its characters became like family to me, the cases were so well written that it helped me to understand when someone was the killer, why this person was a killer and what this person will do next. I am 28 now and my friends still calling me “evil mind” because this show gave me the opportunity to “think like that”.

I always brink up Criminal Minds and its cases when I’m talking to people. I stopped eating candies from public places because that was the killer’s way to murder people in an episode. I figured out that I could literally die for Dr. Spencer Reid ( Matthew Gray Gubler ) and I wanted to be like JJ ( A.J. Cook ) when I’d grow up. Characters came and go, others died and others just left, letting me every time with a hole in my heart as I had lost a family member… But the truth is that that’s life. We lose people and we meet new ones and that was one of the lessons that I learned because of Criminal Minds.

Yesterday, was the series finale of the show and I’m so sad that I have tears in my eyes. I never thought that I will miss this show because I never thought that I will lose it. That’s it with the things ( and people that we love ) we taking them for granted until we learn that they will no longer be there for us. To keeping us company, making us feel better when our day had gone through shit, to making us laugh and cry and teaching us how to become better humans.

Thank you for everything Criminal Minds cast and crew. Without you, my life would be empty and maybe I didn’t make it become a police officer ( I was too short for my country’s standards ) but you shaped into a better person and that matters more than anything to me. Goodbye, and I love you.
