Happy Happy New Year to all my fine folks out there. I pray this year brings us happiness, love, joy and peace. I fell off with my Insecure post last year, but life right? Anyway, let’s just jump into the series finale, titled “Everything Gonna Be, Okay?!” Well in the series finale we get a completely fast forwarded episode. Issa and Nathan call it quits, because Nathan realizes he can’t take his insecurities that he has while he is with Issa and that he feels like their relationship is toxic. We see birthdays being celebrated, a visit to Denver to visit Tiffany, the death of Molly’s mother. Fast forward some more and Kelli announces her pregnancy, Issa is opening up her own office for her new business and she and Lawrence meet up to talk, where Issa lets him know she is willing to try a relationship with him. At the end of the episode we are at Molly’s wedding where she is marrying Taurean and Issa and Lawrence are living together and happily engaged. Whew! They gave us ALOT in that series finale. As I stated before, these aren’t really full recaps of the show, as they are conversations about the show, so let’s Talk! First let me start off by saying, boy am I going to miss this show. I felt seen in so many ways with this show. The friendships, the relationships, the not having it all figured out. I mean really! I loved that she put on for her city and showed it so much love. I loved the music that was curated for the show. I just loved it all and it will truly be missed. Now on to the series; I have said for the last few recaps that I was not a fan of Lawrence and Issa ending up together. I mean I just wasn’t here for Issa being in a relationship with a man who had a newborn baby. So I can definitely say that with that storyline, I wasn’t pleased lol. But hey. What do you think? Were you team Issa and Lawrence no matter what? On to Molly. Whew our girl Molly has gone through it hasn’t she when it comes to relationships? I was so happy to see her get her happy ending with Taurean. Someone who was on her level and someone who was truly there for her. The wedding dress was beautiful and she looked beautiful! There was a moment between Issa and Molly at the wedding where Molly thanks Issa for all she has done for her and it was such a dual moment. A Moment between Issa and Molly and a moment between Issa Rae and Yvonne Orji. Friendships are so important and really when you think of it the show was really about Issa and Molly and their relationship with each other. As we know friendships aren’t always easy and the older you get, you have to really make time and be purposeful in keeping those friendships afloat and flourishing. What do you think of the relationships between all the women on the show? Last but not least, the growth of Issa and her insecurities. At the end of the show Issa has truly come into her own. She is with the man she loves, living in a bomb ass house and is the CEO of her own company. You love to see it. Especially the part of her being the CEO of her own company. We saw Issa at the beginning of the show struggling to find her purpose and by the end of it she not only found it, but was flourishing in it. That part, that part alone is truly truly inspiring. Let’s Talk what did you think of Issa’s journey? What did you think of the series finale in general? From Jaime With Love
