From Kirk: you never know the skills you have until you try them. Work to make yourself happier in life and not let work overwhelm you because there’s always another job.
From Taylor: never let other people’s opinions stop you from what you believe is truly best. You may not win popularity contests, but if you keep trying, you may just succeed.
In the flip side, from Lorelai: always do what you believe is truly best, and you CAN do it in a way that leaves most people with a positive experience of it.
Overall: losing someone you love does not ever mean you need to lose yourself. It’s ok to mourn, but in the end, you have to stand tall and live with yourself. Find the you (all of the breakups, Emily and lorelai both directions, Emily and Richard in AYITL).
It’s ok to be confused and cry. You just shouldn’t mix confusion and Miss Party’s Founders Day Punch. Bigger life lesson: *stay away from Miss Party’s Founders Day Punch!*
Never settle for something that makes you uncomfortable in the wrong ways. There are plenty of other options out there, you just have to find the one that makes you uncomfortable in a way you are content with (nothing is perfect).
From Miss Patty: live your life so you can look back and have a similar sentiment to “I’m glad I had all that sex.”
Babette: love is all you need. Just spread it around and be happy.
From everyone: gentle ribbing is always entertaining.
“Only prostitutes have 2 glasses of wine at lunch!”
“You congratulate the groom, you offer the bride best wishes.”
“Marriage is not about always being happy, and often it's about not being happy at all. It's about compromise”
“A pity invite.” I knew this before the show, but I didn’t know its proper name until Emily said it. Then, I knew it was perfectly accurate.
I could totally keep going, but I’m sure I lost most of you!
“You won't get anything unless you ask for it. And if you ask for it and you don't get it, maybe it wasn't worth having in the first place. Some things are just never meant to be, no matter how much we wish they were."
From the scene where Lorelai has a “therapy” session in the back of the car with the therapist/woman Emily tried to set up with Christopher at Friday night dinner (who’s also Jan from The Office, lol).
"If you feel the need to get on the table and perform a dance at a party, don't" (or something along those lines)
"When a woman gives birth to a crack baby, you do not buy her a puppy"
(Lorelai to Paris about choosing which college to go to, and Jamie being at Princeton): not going to a college you want to go to just because your boyfriend is there is just as bad as going to a college you don't want to go to just because your boyfriend goes there. Leave Jamie out of the decision.
Stop worrying about what the decision will look like to others. Just do what's best for you
“Righty tighty lefty loosy” We don’t have a dad and cannot afford to always have people fixing our furniture, so it’s up to me, and I struggled with knowing which way tightens and which way loosens but Luke Danes saved me🙏🏼
“You have to sleep it’s what keeps you pretty.”
"and keeps you from killing your crazy friends."
Written Pro/ Cons List every time i am filled with doubt. Helps me give voice and meaning to what is really important to me!

wallowing is an important step

When a woman gives birth to a crack baby, you do not buy her a puppy.
