Who doesn't love the show "Friends"? (If your answer is "Me, that's who," it's okay if you stop reading now). Assuming you've seen the show (or have been in the modern world in the past decade) you know how iconic it really is. Everything from "the Rachel" hairstyle to Joey's love for all things food and no things books, the TV show had a profound affect of the way we see life and relationships. Without a doubt, Phoebe brings so much to the show, and will always be my favorite Friend. Here are a few reasons why she should be your favorite too.
1. She doesn't care what people think.
Well, she doesn't really care if her friends know the truth about her. She's pretty open about who she is and what she stands for, we should all strive to be a little more like Phoebe.
2. She gave birth to the babies without asking for anything in return.
She's an amazing sister, and an amazing person in general. She never even thought about what she would gain, other than Frank and Alice's happiness.
3. Everything she does is to help people.
If her patience isn't tested trying to teach Joey French, I don't know what will.
4. She's so much more intelligent then she lets others believe
There is so much information in her head. She may play dumb with Joey, but she's super smart and often reminds us in subtle ways. She's the best kind of smart.
5. She was a vegan before vegan was a word.
Even if she still eats eggs/milk (we're not sure) she hates fur and is a vegetarian all for the animals. I'm proud of her for being aware of her place on the planet well before a lot of others.
6. She's been through so much in her life and still thinks of others' needs first.
She wanted to donate all that money to children, until others pointed out the need to put herself first for once.
7. She kicks butt when she needs to.
Have you heard the relationship advice she doles out?
8. Everything about her is her own.
If you've seen the way she dresses or the episode where she changes her name, without a doubt she is her own person.
9. She knows she's attractive.
She also will not let us forget it! Every woman deserves to feel this way about themselves, making her an amazing role model for women everywhere.
10. She doesn't let (most of) the little things get to her.
After dropping that tray so many times, she still is so proud of what she accomplished. #metaphorforlife
11. She's supportive of everyone's decisions and loves them always.
It honestly doesn't matter what her friends are doing with their lives, she wants them to always have support. She makes a point to send out good vibes and wish her friends luck with everything.
Basically we all need to be more like Phoebe Buffay. She is an amazing woman, human and friend. Be amazing, supportive and loving every day of your life, and we could all make the world a better, Phoebe-esque, place.
