14 Reasons Why Morticia Addams Is My Role Model

Ever since I was young, I have enjoyed watching The Addams Family (TV: 1964-1966). This family-friendly series shows an odder and more gothic take on an American family. Two loving and doting parents, two children, and other fun familial elements, not to mention friends and other relationships! This series is about a family, and displays real issues that go on in life…well, if you’re an Addams, that is.

While there are many great qualities about this show, Morticia Addams has always stuck out to me. She is a multi-faceted character as she is sensible, supportive, and wise. Here are 14 reasons why Morticia is my role model…also, I kind of want to me her when I grow up.

1. She takes pride in her appearance

This is a woman of high-fashion. She knows how to dress her body type, as well as show off her character in her clothing. But most importantly, black.

2. She’s loyal

As a spouse, Morticia is extremely loyal to her dearest, Gomez. Her heart is entirely devoted to her husband. Talk about #marriagegoals, am I right?

3. She has a knack for interior design

Morticia knows how to decorate her house. I’d totally follow her Pinterest boards on home decor.

4. She’s talks about body image in a healthy way

Morticia understands that beauty, while it is nice, is not everything. Beauty can be found in anything and everything, but it does not give something worth.

5. She’s sensible

Sometimes life isn’t the best, it’s okay to acknowledge that.

6. She knows what she likes

The gloomier, the better.

7. Back at it with black

Whether it’s on clothes, decorations, anything, black is the way to go!

8. She offers her lived wisdom

Morticia has gleaned insight over her years and she shares her wisdom with others. Things won’t always go well in life, and that’s okay.

9. She is talented in various aspects and excels at her hobbies

I mean, just look at those moves!

10. She’s a good cook

Being able to cook is an admirable quality, and Morticia knows how to well-season a meal.

11. She is supportive and affirming


Morticia takes pride in her children’s accomplishments and affirms their efforts. Take notes, people.

12. She’s upfront with her emotions

Being upfront with your emotions is difficult, but a very helpful quality to have.

13. She’s refined in various arts

Morticia is a multi-faceted woman! And, she understands the beauty of poetry.

14. She wears pride with an air of humility

Somehow she strikes the perfect balance of pride and humility, maybe one day I’ll get that right. *Probably not*

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
