I've already completed the entire How I Met Your Mother series on Netflix months ago, but something made me restart the series. And I regret nothing. While re-watching the series with nostalgic laughter, I realize something each time I see an episode. The goals the series influences is real AF, and I'll explain.
But am I the only one that ever wondered if they even asked how he met their mother?
Relationship Goals
Barney and Robin were good and bad for each other, and honestly they both remind me of myself. I can have two spirit animals, right?
Lily and Marshall were relationship goals on a nauseating level.
Though I have no idea who Ted was talking to in this image, the best thing about him is how hard he loved after being heartbroken over and over again. He managed to remain hopeful for the future, and he never gave up on love. No matter how hard Barney tried to convince him to.
Wedding Goals
Ted finally got the girl, and our hearts melted.
The entire episode of Marshall and Lily's wedding is hilarious from start to finish, but they managed to make it romantic as well.
If these two emotionally dysfunctional humans can get married, you can too. (Spoiler: Despite the fact that they got divorced years later. But still. Marriage.)
Confidence Goals
Indeed, we do know it. You never let us forget. Thank you, Barney.
Barney always stated what he wanted with confidence, and he was definitely not about the "Game Playing" thing dating seemingly started to become and is now.
Granted, most of the confident moments came from Barney, but it was still a confidence we can strive for. The confidence to put yourself out there knowing you could get shot down.
Friendship Goals
If this doesn't make you want to get up and chant and dance, you're wrong.
The intervention intervention was just gold. This entire episode, to be honest.
Thank you, gang, for giving us goals to strive for.
