In my opinion, everyone should watch "Gossip Girl." The mystery tale of gossip girl intertwined with the lives of the elite Upper East-Siders seems like a girly show, but the show is action-packed and far from a chick series. Along with a twist-and-turn story line that will keep you on your toes, "Gossip Girl" is filled with deep-seeded messages that everyone can benefit from.
1. "Once again the world has proven anything you can do, I can do better." - Blair Waldorf
Have a little confidence. You are spectacular and you have amazing qualities that make you successful. You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
2. "If two people are meant to be together, eventually they'll find their way back." - Chuck Bass
We've all got to have a little faith that things will work out in the end. Maybe two people need time apart to mature as individuals before they can come together as a couple.
3. "I'm not a stop along the way. I'm the destination." - Blair Waldorf
Never settle. You are not just another number. You are special and you deserve to be desired. You are the end prize, not just a special reward along the journey of life. So, never settle for anything less.
4. "I was hurt, sure. But I survived. I had no other choice than moving on with my life without him in it." - Serena van der Woodsen
Ladies (and gentlemen), a breakup is not the end of the world. Sure, it may seem like it at the time, but things do get better. You just have to put your big girl (or boy) panties on, listen to some gangster rap music and move on with your life.
5. "You don't give up just because things are hard." - Nate Archibald
Perseverance is the key in life. When things get tough, try harder because the end goal is always better than the repercussions of giving up.
6. "Whoever said money doesn't buy happiness didn't know where to shop." - Blair Waldorf
Who doesn't love a little retail therapy during rough times? Going through a breakup? Buy a new outfit to show that guy or girl what they are missing out on.
7. "I don't need anybody in my life who doesn't wanna be there." - Georgina Sparks
Eliminating any and all sources of negativity in your life is a game changer. No one needs someone in her life who is constantly pulling her down. If they don't want to be a part of your life, then let them go. It is their loss.
8. "Destiny is for losers. It's just a lame excuse for letting things happen to you instead of making them happen." - Blair Waldorf
Sure, everything may happen for a reason in the big picture of life. But, they happen because you make them happen. Don't let outside forces dictate your life, control the path that you want to follow for all the days of your life.
9. "If you have feelings for someone, nothing else in the world matters." - Serena van der Woodsen
At some point, we all fall for the person we shouldn't. Whether we know it won't work out for some reason or our family doesn't like them, you can't control who you love. You may try very hard to control it, but in the end you love who you love without boundaries.
10. "I've done things I'm not proud of...and I don't want to go back to that." - Serena van der Woodsen
As Hannah Montana said, "Everybody makes mistakes. Everybody has those days." We all have done things we wish we could change, but the important thing is to acknowledge the things you have done wrong and make sure that they don't happen in the future. Every wrong choice comes with a life lesson that helps shape you into the person you are today.
11. "You don't give up on the people you love." - Chuck Bass
Love is an indescribable force. Love makes you do crazy things, but refusing to give up on someone isn't crazy. It is a beautiful testament of faith.
12. "This is you. Just be yourself." - Serena van der Woodsen
You are the bomb. You are perfect just the way you are, so don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Always be unapologetically yourself.
13. "Love does not just disappear." - Chuck Bass
Love is a beautiful, yet terrifying, thing. Love not being able to disappear is what keeps marriages together. However, love not disappearing after a break up is what tears people apart. It wreaks havoc on their lives because they can't just shut down the feelings they have for a person they were once with. Love is a crazy thing, but the benefits of finding your true love certainly outweigh the ups and downs experienced on your journey to find them.
14. "All you do all day is type, type, type. You take the laptop with you everywhere. It not healthy." - Dorota Kishlovsky
Take a break and step back from the technology. Live in the moment. Take a deep breath of fresh air and make memories. You'll thank yourself later.
15. "Oh, my life is so beautiful I don't need a boyfriend to feel fulfilled." - Blair Waldorf
No one needs a boyfriend (or girlfriend) to be complete. For a relationship to work, a person needs to be able to be happy and satisfied on their own. Independence is a glorious thing.
16. "We're holding on to the pain because it's all we have left. We don't have to. We have a choice." - Chuck Bass
Moving on after a breakup is a hard thing to do. Often, we hold on to the pain because its all we have left of the person we once loved or may still love. It is healthy to feel the pain of a breakup, but it is not healthy to let it consume you. We all have a choice to move on. It is a hard choice to make, but we can do it and life does get better.
17. "As you can see, I survived without you." - Blair Waldorf
The best revenge after a break up is showing that you didn't need your ex by your side to survive. You can be yourself, you can be happy and you can be successful on your own.
18. "There's a difference between a great love and the right love." - Chuck Bass
There are two types of love, a love that is great and passionate but toxic and a love that is truly meant to be. Sometimes we have those magical loves, ones that just are all-consuming. But, those loves are taxing and complicated and hard. They are a good time, but they aren't always healthy or the best choice for you. The right love is the one to wait out for and is why you should never settle.
19. "You deserve someone who would move mountains for you if he had to." - Blair Waldorf
Everyone deserves someone who would do anything for them. Someone who would jump leaps and bounds just to make you happy. Those kind of people are the ones to hold on to.
20. "Trust is the most important thing in a relationship." - Blair Waldorf
If you can't trust your partner, what good can come from that relationship? Trust is the foundation of every good relationship, so find someone you can trust without a doubt and you'll know you are on the right track to finding your forever love.
21. "Miss Blair, I de-friend Mr. Chuck in Facebook and in life." - Dorota Kishlovsky
Find a friend like Dorota -- one that has your back all the time. You have a rough breakup, she stands by your side no matter what. Through thick and thin, she always has your best intentions at heart.
22. "We make our own fairytales." - Serena van der Woodsen
Our happy ending isn't written somewhere waiting for us. We write it ourselves. Our stories don't have to be sad, they can be epic fairytales with a little effort, luck and pixie dust.
23. "Sometimes you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and where you want to be." - Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl herself says it best. Never feel stuck. You are you, but you can always improve yourself. Continue to strive for greatness and make something of your life.
