Gossip girl was known for drama, relationships, and oh, yeah, drama, but in the middle of all of that awesomeness were some real life lessons. Let’s be real, we all watched for Leighton Meester and Blake Lively, but their words were actually too accurate when it comes to life as a twenty-something. Hate to say it, but I kind of miss Blaire and Serena…
1. Blair: “All this time I’ve blamed you. For pulling me into the dark. But I was wrong. It was me who brought out your dark side.”
Blair hit us right in the feels with this. We never want to believe we are the problem, but sometimes we really aren’t meant to be with someone. We really do bring out the worst in them and the best thing we can do is bow out.
2. Blair: “Destiny is for losers. It’s just a stupid excuse to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen.”
THANK YOU, BLAIR! Although I believe in destiny we can’t spend our whole life waiting for an opportunity to come knocking. We have to start opening doors and seeing what’s behind them.
3. Blair: “Just because we can’t be together doesn’t mean I don’t love you.”
*tears* Such an emotional moment. There will always be that one. The one you love that no matter how hard you tried you could never be with, it would never work, but oh how much we wanted it.
4. Blair: “Once men have tasted caviar, it baffles me how they settle for catfish.”
SO MUCH, YES!! How do people go from someone AMAZING to someone who can barely handle just taking care of themselves and then somehow expect the relationship to be great? And then when it fails they want to come back to the person they had before. UMM, NO!
5. Gossip Girl: “Sometimes you need to step outside, clear your head and remind yourself of who you are. And where you wanna be. And sometimes you have to venture outside your world in order to find yourself. As for me, I’m happy right where I am. I only wanna be with you. xoxo . . . Gossip Girl”
I can’t even put into words how true this is. It’s so easy to get bogged down with everything going on every day and stuck in the rut of the day to day but sometimes we’ve got to stop, look around, and remember what our goals are and evaluate if we are doing anything to push ourselves to them.
6. Gossip Girl: “They say every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and once something is set on motion, it can’t help up to build a momentum.”
This holds true for the good and the bad. Set yourself on a positive track and work hard towards achieving your goals and life will happen, but if you let the bad take flight it will keep going until you make the effort to stop it.
7. Gossip girl: “They say the universe has a great sense of humor. That sometimes having your dreams come true can feel like a nightmare. Because getting what you want always come with strings attached.”
This hasn’t been a fun life lesson to learn. Everything comes with a price. Whether you pay it with money, your time, or some other way; everything has a price. Are you sure your willing to pay it?
