Pam Halpert (Beesly) is one of the main characters from the hit TV Comedy “The Office”. Pam is the average girl next door who starts off the show in a bad relationship and does a tremendous amount of soul-searching throughout the series. Pam and Jim will always be #relationshipgoals, but a lot of people forget that Pam is a pretty great girl all on her own (except for Jim of course). While she was figuring out who she wanted to be, Pam had a lot of wise words about life in general.

Pam taught us that even the most ordinary things, like a lonely old office in Scranton, PA, can be the most beautiful in our life. She made us remember to appreciate the little things in life, even though they may seem insignificant.
2.
Even more importantly, Pam taught us that sometimes people will say things about you, and that's fine. She showed us that the most important things in life are being 100% true to you and getting a good meal at least once a day.

Pam showed us that when you're truly where you are supposed to be, you'll know. Once you get to a point in life where you're happy with just the way things are, it's ok if you don't want to leave it.

Pam showed us that no matter who you are, all it takes is a little courage to be a total badass. Most importantly, this part of Pam's journey taught us that it is always better to be honest and get things off of your chest than it is to stay miserable.

Between calling off her wedding because she was in love with a man she didn't even know loved her back, going to art school to pursue her dream, and starting a family; Pam taught us that the truly worthwhile things in life are never a sure thing.

Throughout the series, I spent a lot of time yelling at Pam on the TV, telling her to go for it because JIM WAS RIGHT THERE. Just like in real life, it took Pam a while to really figure out the right thing to do. Pam taught us that once you get to where you want to be, you can't spend time regretting not getting there sooner and forget to enjoy your life.

Pam's journey taught us that there is no shame in following your dreams, even when it's not easy. She taught us that the most important thing in life is trusting yourself.
Personally, I think Pam is one of the most real and relatable women that's been on television in a long time. The most important thing about Pam, I think, is that she showed everyone watching that it's normal to not know what you want, to change your mind, and to be scared of how the future might turn out. Pam was just a normal girl that took a chance on having a great life and won. So thanks, Pam Halpert, for being so awesome.
