Gossip Girl is Dead

After my obsession with the television show Gossip Girl over the past couple of years, I was surprised (and slightly angry) with myself after realising that Season 6 had been out on DVD for two months and it hadn't been brought to my attention. So when I did discover this ground shattering news (in my boring world at least,) I raced to Kmart and picked myself up a copy. Don't worry though, no spoilers here. Well, no direct spoilers at least.

When Gossip Girl is finally revealed in the finale, they were quoted as saying "I wasn't born into this world... maybe I could write myself into it." This quote and this character really got me thinking about my future and how we can all "write" our own.

Now, I have no intention of starting Australia's own Gossip Girl site and ratting out my friends and I don't want to force myself into being something I'm not like the people of the Upper East Side. I'm talking more about knowing exactly what your goals are and just how to get there. It's up to you to make your own decisions about your life. It is your life after all. 

This second quote is more my cup of tea. "Creating" my future seems better to me than literally writing your role in life like our good friend Gossip Girl. I have no direct plans for my future. But I do know that I'm independent and strong and whatever I choose to do, however I write my story, I'll do everything to the best that I can, and be the best that I can.

Gossip Girl wrote themselves into their Upper East Side world so they could be whoever they wanted to be. This is what I want, to be able to be whoever I want to be and be completely myself. I've been at the same school, surrounded by the same people, my whole life. I can't change who I am or be a bit different because I know people will judge me for changing. Either that or they almost certainly won't accept my change because they've already stereotyped me as what I was: a bit of a loser.

Enough of the serious stuff... if you didn't know the last season was already on DVD like the fool that I am, what are you doing reading this? Go out and get it!

Now that Gossip Girl is over and the characters are moving on, I feel like it's the same for me. I can't wait for a change.

And while I already feel as though I am ready to start writing my next chapter,  I know I need to finish the current one properly. 2014 will be a page turner, I can feel it.
