Hi, it's Paola from Italy.

The first time I watched how my grandmother was during the first wave of COVID back in March 2020.

My name is Josh. I first watched the show as a college student in New York.

My name is Anna. I am in Los Angeles, planet Earth.

How I Met Your Mother is special because whether I've had a fantastic day or a

fucking terrible day, watching that show is always the right move for the mood.

My friend told me to watch the show and just said, I'm Ted Mosby.

I had no idea what he's talking about.

And I watched it and I came back to him and I said, I'm Ted Mosby.

You remember it was hard time with strict lockdowns isolation.

After a very tough day, every night,

I watched some episodes to, let's say, overcome such difficult time.

It feels right regardless to go spend time with those characters,

those candid, stumbling,

hilarious, raunchy, relentlessly themselves, people.

And that gives the same feeling, the same quality of what good friendship is.

And being between junior and senior year of college, I was terrified of what was coming

next and how to make it happen the way I wanted.

Then there was this wonderful show that was all about how the randomness of life is what gets you

exactly where you need to be.

I'm alone.

What a pity I won't be soon in New York City when I see you.
