What I learned from The Walking Dead Season 6 Episode 9
Of many of the inspirational and applause-worthy moments in one of AMC's greatest successes: "The Walking Dead", the interaction between main character Glenn and Alexandria's (which is a small town full of survivors) Enid was and is one that I will always love.
This episode sees Glenn and Enid on their way to rescue Glenn's pregnant wife Maggie from a horde of zombies that have taken over Alexandria. The events leading up to this are plenty, and rather than discuss them here and spoil it for my readers around the world, I will just talk about this scene in particular.

In their pursuit of the well-being and safety of Maggie, the pregnant damsel in distress, the two characters hole in an empty church trying to secure more weapons to take on the zombies that greatly outnumber them both. It is, quite literally, 300 against 2. It is in this church that Enid asks Glenn what he meant by "...that's how you lose people, even when they are gone" . Glenn responds that although they have both lose people who meant a great deal to them, that those people still live within them, they are a part of who they are and who they become. If they decide to run, to live in fear, to push people away, then those people who have become a part of who they are become lost. WOW!
Everyone we love and everyone who has ever loved us, whether living or alive is a part of us at our core. Should we decide to change who we are, to be anything other than the person the people we love love us for, we lose people even when they are gone.
