LITERALLY MY EXACT THOUGHTS

[@claudiathomson3214]

maturing is realising rory was lost and her family shouldn’t have put so much pressure on her to be the golden child

[@emmas.6317]

this line is everything.

[@onetreehlls8065]

so true

[@ella1135]

Thank you!

[@danalovesyou7898]

honestly i feel like rory put too much pressure on herself in her early years. because of the fact that she was valedictorian, she thought nobody could turn her down. even in “a year in the life” she expected the journalism job to take her in right away and had no ideas or anything and thought they would just take her which ended her up being broke and stuff. she had the choice to leave yale, she had her expectations too high the minute somebody told her she wasnt good enough she broke into pieces, doesnt that say smt? that shows that she feels like shes flawless and is perfect. she had no pressure on her by her family members she put that pressure on herself at a way too early age imo

[@theorca3451]

@@danalovesyou7898 honestly I think it was her first real heartbreak(career wise), because an acclaimed journalist essentially told her she just wasn’t fit for something she’d worked for her whole life. everyone blames her for it, says she’s overreacting, but I can imagine how crushing it must be for your genuine goals and dreams to be crushed by someone you looked up to.

rory was one of the most human characters we've ever seen in hollywood, she makes mistakes, she can't handle criticism (which isn't constructive), she's been spoiled by everyone but still shows the reality of many people.i could never hate rory gilmore cuz i identify with her, just as many must identify, we get confused and, we don't think we're good at the things we choose to do with life, we're afraid to fail and let others down and let ourselves down, most of ppl feel that...

as a huge gilmore girls stan and swiftie i could only think about her when i first listened to the song friday, and this edit actually made me violently sob

[@rileydauber5699]

i'm such a rory defender. she was used to being praised by her mother and by the people in stars hollow, so when she receives one bought of criticism she breaks down and wants to drop out and give up - like it makes perfect sense because she's faced all this pressure to go to harvard/yale and to be the best

[@theorca3451]

I totally agree. I don’t defend her relationship actions but other than that, I think she was just a sweet girl, who grew up with too high standards and too much pressure. People always hate her for not taking Mitchum’s criticism, but he essentially told her she wasnt meant for journalism and wouldn’t make it, and her entire goals and dreams were crushed, no wonder she was lost for a while, I thought that was pretty valid and realistic.

[@dawn6525]

yes she makes a lot of poor moral decisions but shes human so you can only hold that against her so much, but just as a young girl i completely understand and relate to what she went through so i also cant criticise her on that and it is comforting to see a character so similar to me and similar to many others too

[@theorca3451]

@That Nerdy girl Tarini I see that, but at the same time dropping out isn't that unrealistic tbh. It's quite common for people in college, especially those who are unsure in themselves.

[@liyana3781]

her downfall was so realistic and it absolutely crushed me. and i cant believe people hate her for it or even blame her for it as if her whole life her parents, grandparents and her entire town made her believe shes invincible and can do anything she wants. they praised her way too much and she wasnt used to the harsh reality

She is also my comfort character. Her greatest flaw however was the inability to 1) take criticism and 2) MATURE. What she needed was independence and time away to actually sort herself out and work on her skills. She would have been a great publisher, not so much a reporter. But she couldnt take in the fact that she had things to improve

[@nicoledyer6707]

i understand rory almost too well, till high school i was a girl with big plans and many hopes, i had perfect grades with 0 work and people believed that i was going to rise and succeed in life but in high school, i just lost it, that spark. I lost my focus, my hopes and became a big mess, from a go getter, i became this i don’t know what i become actually or what i will become, i am so lost and i can’t see any way out everything is foggy and dark and i don’t know where i am heading the smart girl who knew everything and got it all planned, somehow ended up knowing nothing, just trying to survive days of long classes, falling behind all the time also seeing that rory never fixed herself after burning out, kinda lowers my hopes i feel like i wont be able to find a way out either

Such a perfect tribute to poor Rory. Wow. I love this more than I can express. 💜

[@VioletEmerald]

This reminds me a bit of the theme of my "Vienna" Rory Gilmore tribute I made in January, in some ways. Although it wasn't actively quite as heartbreaking. There's so much realistic complex depth to Rory. This is just so sad and i love the parallels you found and ways you edited this. I likely will edit this song for multi females, i just love it so much. But i won't touch including Rory after i see how you already covered her perfectly here. I wouldn't want to vid her again for it. ;)

[@chloemortimore172]

fastest 3 minutes of my life!! this was soo well done and completley fits her. I dont know why everyone criticises her storyline so much when it's actually so relatable. I think its because we all can see ourselves in her storyline but hoped somehow rory would be different and just know how to perfectly navigate life. It doesn't play out like a tv show in reality and Dang your 20s are hard, this really hits home

[@arinahalias]

i agree!! had the same thought and you put it out perfectly.

[@shrek6110]

i've seen so many people talk about how much they hate rory for throwing away important opportunities and not realizing the privilege she had, but i just can't hate her. i just can't help but feel for her. ever since she was a young child, she was pressured into being the "golden child". don't get me wrong, lorelai was a fantastic mother in many ways, but she treated rory more like her best friend and less like her mother, and while it's good to have a best friend relationship with your kids, your role as a parent should come first. rory had to think like an adult since a young age, and almost EVERYONE around her treated her like one. they treated her like she was perfect and couldn't make any mistakes, and that kind of pressure on someone who isn't even finished with school yet is horrible. she was forced into acting more mature and didn't have as many opportunities to act like a child. and because of that, she ended up in many situations as a burnout college kid. and i can heavily relate to her. i'm not in college yet, but i have had the stress of being perfect ever since i was little. from everyone around me. i have to get straight a's all throughout my school career, become a doctor, and be the golden child. failure would rarely ever be an option and i always have to be the overachiever. and while i truly appreciate the opportunities i am given, i just can't help but be jealous of everyone around me that doesn't know what they want to be when they grow up. i'm jealous of the non-"gifted" children because i hate that word and wish i wasn't considered gifted because that puts a lot of pressure on me, and i'm only a kid. that's why i can't bring myself to hate rory gilmore, because i relate to her too much. but i'm also scared of failure and possibly going through what she did. i don't want to end up like her, but sometimes i fear i will.

Everyone had high expectations for her and she was just lost, tired, exhausted and overwhelmed. It’s like she had to know everything being so young. That what happens when “the perfect child” stops being perfect. She is just a person, just a human, after all. And I love her no matter what, even at her worst

THIS IS MAKING ME CRY

[@betulceyhan8519]

I haven't watched gg till last year. And honestly I see so much of myself in her. Of course I have never been that calm, collected kid but spend a good portion of my childhood being an overachiever just because there was nothing else allowed, maybe that's a bit dramatic so I can change the word with encouraged instead, for me to do. I was in a strict high school and I've felt bad that I wasn't the genius of the class so I studied for days and weeks even on holidays and I've made myself feel guilty for reading books for pleasure that's how messed up I was. I've crashed during first year of med school when I got super sick then got panic attacks for missing too much and having too much freedom after a prison-like high school life, it got to the point of being scared to leave the house for me to start a treatment for anxiety. It got better next year, but after awhile I just knew i didn't want to study my life away and skipped classes. I've never became a good student ever since but after graduation I've suffered for my lack of motivation/discipline. I don't even read and people are surprised how much I know and how do I not read. I just get on by what I learned before I quit reading so it's a slippery slope, pretending to be a bookworm. I took a different career path instead of what I thought I wanted, I'm just hanging around here not knowing what I want from the future. It's a never-ending cycle of the former gifted child syndrome.

[@salfigh1271]

I've never watched Gilmore Girls before but this is something, I feel like crying even when watching this

[@havenmarlette2762]

I want to hate her but I can’t 😭 she was brought up to be the perfect academic successor but it was too much pressure and her family’s influence on her, especially her bonehead of a father, and her mom keeping her away from her grandparents has got to have a bad affect on her. She should’ve been a better friend to Rory and treated the people that cared for her and all those boyfriends with respect. I used to not understand what they saw in her but I think she’s a cute passionate girl it’s just pressure and some privilege, too. The privilege of being smart and pretty put her in a good spot but she got so sick of her treatment and pressure she couldn’t handle it. She felt like she couldn’t always be the best and she gave up, making herself a worse person. So yeah I think this song really matches her story I think she was very sweet, smart and determined at 18 but once she got older her personality had a downfall and many people are mad at the writers for “doing her wrong” but I think they demonstrated something we needed to see, and if they didn’t, we wouldn’t understand the pressure on people like Rory and what it can do to people. It wouldn’t be realistic if this didn’t happen.
