#even when lorelai's own intended future has just collapsed!
Text
Man, these past few days...so many thoughts. About my life then, my life now. What I missed. Thoughts about what I'll never have. And what I want to have.
#gilmore girls#this episode is another one where it's like#lorelai had this huge horrible thing happen#and instead of making it about her she turns the whole situation into an opportunity to do something great for rory#she takes rory to the college of her dreams and doesn't give away even the slightest hint of wistfulness#when it triggers all these thoughts about what she missed and what she gave up to be rory's mom#rory comes out of a college classroom so excited about 'college is gonna be amazing; i can't wait; i love college; i love harvard!#and lorelai just makes space for rory to be giddy#and tells her how amazing she is and how she blew everyone in the classroom away#without ever once letting on that she has painful emotions about her own missed opportunities#she makes this whole trip into an opportunity for rory to celebrate and revel in her upcoming future#even when lorelai's own intended future has just collapsed!#anyway i'm learning to make gg gifs myself so i don't have to put my bookends thoughts on other people's sets#but this one really is the most bookends vibes#vague bookends thoughts#*
