Here are 15 important moments when Olivia Pope taught us life lessons we will remember forever:

1. When she refuses to be a cliche

2. When she refuses to be at your beck and call

3. Because she believes in her own self-worth

4. When she makes it clear that she can take care of herself

5. And that honesty is truly the best policy

6. When she reminds us that good > evil

7. But that, sometimes, you need to be unapologetically fierce too. And that means you're going to have haters.

8. When she puts others before herself

9. When she can rock being both independent and dependent

10. When she isn't afraid to admit when she's wrong

11. When she tells it like it is

12. When she manages to handle every challenge thrown her way. And still look fabulous doing it.

13. But also reminds us of the importance of having some down time

14. And that it's OK if you just don't feel like talking

15. Most importantly, it's OK to be vulnerable sometimes.
