the turning point

I was sitting at home, pondering about the boredom of my everyday life (as per), when I started to think about a similar story line that both my favourite tv shows and my favourite books share. They all have that turning point in life, and it's all down to a person. It's when they all meet that person, and after meeting that person, nothing is ever the same. It is their life-changing person. In How I Met Your Mother, I reckon it's Barney. Where the hell would Ted be without Barney? He meets his wife at Barney's wedding! In Pretty Little Liars, it's obviously when the girls meet Alison. In Big Bang Theory, it's when Leonard and Sheldon meet Penny. Coming to books, in The Lost Art Of Keeping Secrets, it's when Penelope meets Charlotte. In The Sky Is Everywhere, it's when Lennie meets Joe. In Catcher In The Rye, I reckon it's when his brother dies, but that's different, because it obviously doesn't change for that better, but I think he's still waiting for his life changing person to come along with the turning point. In Looking For Alaska, it's Alaska. In The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, it's when Charlie meets Patrick and Sam.

Must I go on?

However, all these books & films we all enjoy so much, they always show you what happens when the usually annoying and often pathetic protagonist meets the life-changing turning point person. I haven't met that person yet, so my life can't become a book just yet. I'm still waiting. I know they exist. Books & films aren't conjured up out of nowhere, they're based off real life. A prime example is How I Met Your Mother, it's based off the writer's life. Just read the wikipedia page. Wikipedia isn't the answer, it's the question. The answer is, 'yes wikipedia is always right'.
