A Reaction To A 'Criminal Minds' Actor's Heartbreaking Exit

For 11 seasons we have had physiological reactions to this character’s catchphrase “Hey, Baby girl." In fact, I’m salivating now just picturing his face as he looks at Penelope. But last Wednesday solidified that we will no longer hear those words again unless we watch re-run episodes of the CBS drama. FBI Special Agent Derek Morgan, played by actor Shemar Moore, made his final appearance on “Criminal Minds” in a touching farewell episode.

Now for those that are unfamiliar with CBS's "Criminal Minds", Special Agent Derek Morgan is one of one of six characters that work for the BAU (Behavioral Analysis Unit) that specializes in profiling serial killers. Special Agent Morgan plays the sensual tough guy. He has a troubled past that he hides with his tough exterior. However, with his toughness reeks passion. What made us really surprised about Morgan's exit is that he loved his job and he loved what he got out of it. He along with his BAU family have successfully solved over a hundred cases as well as saving many lives along the way. Like many other favorites from other drama series, Derek has gained a fandom that wants to be his special "baby girl".

“Criminal Minds” writers hinted around his exit when they geared several episodes toward Derek. From kidnappings to attacks and the almost death of his wife and child Derek Morgan left with a BANG. When interviewing with TVLine, Shemar said, “I didn’t direct, I didn’t write, but I grew, and I’m leaving because I want to continue to grow as an actor, I’m leaving to see what else I’m capable of.”

Fans have sent outpouring tweets to him after his emotional exit:

I don’t know whether to cry or start putting on make-up because Moore said that one of the reasons that he’s exiting the show is because he’s ready to settle down with a wife and kids. For eleven seasons we have been enraptured with his relationship with Penelope Garcia, almost rooting for them to get together, however, our rooting has to stop. Shemar left this cast with a beautiful exit and he didn’t leave his fans out of it either.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
