Seeing the Stranger Things Finale

This Stranger Things finale, I've heard a lot of bad things lately about the final season

of Stranger Things.

Many people said the ending was unsatisfying, but I decided to ignore the noise.

I bought tickets to see the finale in a movie theater instead of watching it at home.

As I drove to the theater, I realized how much my life has changed since the show first

came out in 2017.

Back in 2017, my life was different.

I was living with roommates and renting from a friend.

My brother and I only paid $425 each for rent.

I was just starting my career and working on my master's degree.

Everything was simple.

Now, nine years have passed.

I have my own house and I'm married.

My bills are definitely higher than $425 now.

Watching the show in the theater made me stop and think about how much I've grown since

those early days.

It wasn't just a movie.

It was a way to look back at a whole chapter of my life.

The theater was packed.

It was cool to be around so many people who were all feeling the same thing.

We clapped and cheered together during the big scenes.

Lately, movie theaters feel empty, but this was different.

The energy in the room was powerful.

I could hear people crying at the end because they knew this was the last time we'd see

these characters.

It was an epic experience.

I don't know why people are complaining about the ending.

I think they made the mistake of watching it on a small TV.

To feel the impact you have to see it on the big screen.

It was worth every penny.

For me, it was the perfect way to finish a journey that started nearly ten years ago.

Our money talks.
