"The Fosters" is one of my favourite reality TV shows (and I normally don't watch TV). It's about a teenage girl, Callie Jacob, who gets placed in a foster home with a lesbian couple and their blend of biological, adoptive and foster children. It focuses on a lot of really controversial issues and that's why I love it so much. There are so many great moments and quotes, so I'm going to share with you today my 10 Favourite Quotes from "The Fosters" that speak for themselves
1. "We probably judge ourselves way harsher than anyone judges us" -Ana Gutierrez
It's okay to give yourself grace sometimes
2. "DNA doesn't make a family, Love does." -Lena Adams Foster
Who you call your family doesn't have to be those who are related to you by blood. Sometimes the best families are the ones who aren't.
3. "There's nothing wrong with being different." -Lena Adams Foster
Be who you are. Embrace it. As the famous Dr. Seuss says, those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.
4. "Sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission" -Mariana Foster
(This is one of the more mischievous quotes, where Mariana would rather do something without asking for her moms permission but rather asking for forgiveness later)
5. "Who I love shouldn't be an issue for you or anyone else" -Stephanie Foster
In a world where the idea of who a person loves has become such a big issue, who you love is who you love. You shouldn't ever let anyone tell you it's an issue. If they have an issue with who you love, that's something they need to work out alone.
6. "Why does everyone go around labeling people?" -Jude Adams Foster
Makes us think. Why do we go around putting labels on people? Good or bad ones.
7. "You do what you have to do for the sake of your family" -Lena Adams Foster
Family always comes first. Sometimes the hardest thing in the world is the thing you have to do for your family.
8. "You are a mathematical equation which I have yet to solve." -A.J. Hensdale
Because this show isn't just all sad stories. There's romance and awful pickup lines!
9. "You're not disposable Callie. You're not worthless." -Stephanie Foster
No human should ever feel like they're worthless or disposable. Because they're not. Everyone is worthy of love.
10. "When you continue to justify your actions, it's a pretty clear sign that you've lost your sight of right and wrong." -Lena Adams Foster
You can't justify everything that you do because then it's very clear that you've become desensitized to right and wrong. You have no clear pathway and/or rules and morals to tell you.
Have I convinced you to watch the show yet?! It's on Netflix if you're interested. It really is an amazing show, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone that I could.
