I grew up watching Gilmore Girls as an impressionable youth. In reality, I was truly allowed to watch a show like that because it would've been seen as an "adult show". Thanks to the recent revival of the show, I've been watching all over again. Me, 7 seasons, and Netflix. On November 25, I'll finally get to see where the girls left off.

Now that I am older I see it. I wanted to be Rory. Live her life and I thought that I connected with her the most. In all honest, I "was her" in a way. We both aspired to go to Ivy League Schools; Rory wanted to go to Harvard and I wanted to go to Yale. We both had a love for music and books of every variety. We both came from single moms that wanted nothing more for us to be the best we could be.

In the last two weeks, It became very clear that I was no longer anything like Rory. My childhood self would quickly deny such a statement. I, now an adult, can honestly admit that I am Lane Kim. Lane grew up with the same beliefs and discipline even strict reign than my mother had with me. Although I wasn't the type to rebel and break rules until I was in middle school. Lane and I both grew up in strict homes of immigrant parent(s) that believed strongly in religion. We kept our beliefs and continued to dream of one day touring the world playing the music we create. We moved out of our mother's homes and found our own. We're so much alike that our moms both owned Antique shops.

We both stayed in the small town that we knew and worked towards our dreams. We lived vicariously through our best friend that is away at school on the side of the state. The more I think about it, we have complete feel into the characters roles.I'm starting to think that Amy Sherman-Palladino was just stealing for our lives to write about us.

It kills that I have become Lane but I am also extremely proud of myself for it. I never thought that I would make it this far. I expected that I would continue to live with my mother that would enforce rules that would have stopped from experiencing all that I have so far. I work and I fight for my dreams to come true. Not many people my age can say that. Most are still worried about the loan debt and keeping grades up. I don't expect to continue life without a degree but, for now, my dreams need to be conquered. It will take a lot of time but I'm okay with that. Being Lane Kim isn't half bad.
