If I Could Be a Character from a Film…

Spoiler alert: she drinks coffee like it’s her job.

If I Could Be a Character from a Film…

If I could be any character from a book or film, I’d hands-down be Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls. Pourquoi? Parce qu’elle est witty, confident, fiercely independent, and basically runs on coffee—just like me.

There are so many little ways I see myself in Lorelai. For starters, we’re both total coffee addicts—like, don’t-talk-to-me-until-my-first-sip kind of vibe. I also juggle a busy life filled with creativity, multitasking, and big dreams. Being an English teacher feels a little like running my own mini Stars Hollow, balancing structure and spontaneity.

Just like Lorelai, I value my independence and love carving out my own path. She created a life she loved despite challenges, and that energy inspires me every time I’m writing blog posts, planning outfits, or helping my students find their voice. And style-wise? We both embrace bold, colorful looks. I never shy away from playing with color palettes—whether it’s mixing lilac with orange or layering unexpected hues, I believe clothes should spark joy and reflect mood, just like Lorelai’s playful wardrobe.

Lorelai’s quick wit, pop culture references, and emotional depth? Honestly, it feels like watching a more exaggerated version of myself on screen. I even have moments where I want to drop everything and go on a spontaneous adventure—preferably one with a killer playlist and good coffee.

In another life, I’d be running the Dragonfly Inn, sipping my fifth cup of coffee, styling guests for themed dinners, and reminding everyone (in perfect Lorelai fashion): “I can do everything.”
