Do You Know Anyone Who Reflects Phoebe Buffay’s Personality?
An English idiom goes, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” This statement is exactly how we should view and approach Phoebe Buffay’s character.
She seems like a weird, cheerful, and happy-go-lucky girl on the outside. But, she’s filled with painful memories of rejection and abandonment on the inside. After all, she was abandoned by pretty much every adult in her life when she was only 14 years old.
She took on the world’s harsh realities alone for quite a long time. Thankfully, she found some lifelong friends that would grow with her and help her through the ups and downs of life. On the flip side, because of her past experiences, she learned to stand up on her own and accept her true self.
Phoebe Buffay doesn’t let society and its opinions dim her shine; she makes her own rules for her own life. More than that, Phoebe encourages us to live life the way we want it.
Indeed, it’s hard to live life alone, especially when others keep trying to pull you down. So, take inspiration from Phoebe and live your best life. Be discerning of people you surround yourself with and find friends who would grow and thrive with you.
