LIFE

If you're anything like us, you're currently rewatching your fave fall/winter/anytime comfort show, Gossip Girl. As a perfect ode to the early 2000s, Gossip Girl gave us iconic outfits, love triangles and of course, *all* the drama. Whether you grew up watching the hit CW show or you're catching up on the O.G. drama (before the release of the new GG reboot episodes), you'll love these six inspiring quotes from the Constance queen herself, Blair Waldorf.

1."I look forward to never seeing you again."

While Blair may be the queen of quick comebacks and maintaining her thrown, she is also sensitive to what may be dimming her light. It's important to set boundaries for yourself and find your way out of toxic relationships (which Blair is all about). Just like Blair, it can be hard to distance yourself from someone you love and trust, but sometimes it's worth it.

2. "I'm not a stop along the way. I'm a destination." 

Blair Waldorf is the ultimate queen of being unbothered by the drama around her. She's always focused on taking care of herself and she always knows her worth. Blair is totally not willing to settle for a mediocre relationship. YOU are the main character in your own life, so remember that you deserve the best and nothing less.  

3. "Whoever said that money doesn't buy happiness didn't know where to shop."

Okay, we're totally not superficial but—lets be real—retail therapy can be the cure for a bad day. While you don't have to do daily shopping on the Upper East Side, going shopping with the Serena to your Blair can be the perfect trick to cheer you up. Get creative by revamping clothes you already own! There are *so* many options. Wearing your fave outfit is the best confidence booster, so wear what makes YOU comfortable and strut like you mean it. 

4. "Just because we can't be together doesn't mean I won't love you."

One of the hardest things about relationships is accepting that they're not working out. Getting through a breakup can be incredibly difficult, whether it's with your S.O. or a best friend. It's okay to admit that you still have feelings toward that person. Spending forever with someone is hard to find, and Blair taught us that it's better to address those feelings than to push them down. 

5. "We're not servants to our emotions. We can control them, suppress them, stomp them out like bugs."

Once again, Blair is the queen of getting through heartbreak and bouncing back as a better person. She's not afraid to let loose and feel everything. Whether she's stressing about Jenny stealing her thrown, winning her games with Chuck or plotting her next revenge, Blair always takes the time to honor her emotions and use them for good. We can take control of our own narrative. Just like Blair, we can get through anything that comes our way. 

6. "Nothing's holding me back anymore. I know what I want, and I'm gonna get it."

Lastly, Blair is the unbothered queen we all strive to be. If you know Blair, she will do anything to get what she wants and won't let anyone get in her way. If you've been manifesting your dreams, don't let anyone stop you from achieving what you want. Do you what you need to do. We promise—everything will *always* work out in the end. 

If you've been looking for the motivation to live out your main character fantasies and turn your dreams into reality, take this as a sign. Blair knows exactly who she is and won't let anyone tell her otherwise. Whenever you need a quick pep talk, come back to these six quotes for some easy inspiration.
