“Don't laugh at the spinsters, dear girls, for often very tender, tragic romances are hidden away in the hearts that beat so quietly under the sober gowns, and many silent sacrifices of youth, health, ambition, love itself, make the faded faces beautiful in God's sight.”

This is so profound and powerful. I want to cry.

I mean…………………….laurie’s rich, so, alright I guess

Amy really said male validation is worth nothing in this day and age … and she’s right !!!

Ooooooh John, I got my eye on you !! *furrows brows*

The rejected proposal !! Chef’s kiss, spectacular, no notes, I want ten more of them

Oh wait…Professor Bhaer is SO OLD THOUGH !!! Ugh 😒 so Jo would ultimately choose between a manchild and an old geezer

Professor Bhaer would be perfect for Jo !! Poor Beth in love with Laurie (but also why because I’m missing something about that man that’s so great)

Poor Jo :( another instance where her bigger dreams are squashed !! Oh and because she’s “too loud” ??? I can’t

I feel bad for Meg and her husband because they genuinely do love each other — it’s just that he’s so broke and she loves pretty dresses !! He’s just like “I try my best 🥺” and I’m like “but … do you really 👀”
