Comfort Shows That I Watch Over and Over Again

We all have those days that all we want is to just lay down, do nothing but watch a movie or two.

Whenever I feel lazy, sad, bored, or happy, I watch these amazing shows. Tonight, I'll share with you some of my all time favorite shows that made me laugh and cry.

Ross. Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, and Joey. Central Perk. I bet you know them already. Words can't express how much I love this show. The first time I watched this, I was really bored and it feels like I was dragged by the jokes in between their conversations. I believe each movie, book, series, has its day, or moment for us to watch them. As for me, for the 2nd time I watched the pilot episode of this one, I was hooked. I even blamed myself for not watching it earlier.

I can relate to each and every character in this show:

Ross- for being so serious when it comes to work and what he loves to do, of course being so affectionate when it comes to her sister, Monica and to his family as well

Rachel - for being that girl who doesn't know what lies ahead but keeps on going, I know I have my moments like this too

Joey - for never giving up when it comes to what he's passionate about (acting) and of course, FOOD!

Phoebe - for being so wholesome and kind

Chandler - for being the joker (I can see my partner thru Chandler, idk why)

Monica - really sums up my attitude

I've already mentioned that I wanted to become a doctor. Every episode of this show is tear jerking in its own way. It shows the life of the five doctors and their friendship. I just love how simple it is yet so touching. Not to mention the comedies in between!

Who would've thought I learned about managing my finances in this one? There was a point in my life when I was really into businesses and managing my finances in a strict manner. My friend, Paul, suggested this one. From riches to rags, this show shows the reality of living from paycheck to paycheck and it also shows different ways on how can we achieve financial freedom. Love love this series!

All I did while watching this was to laugh! I think I gained a few muscles on my stomach after watching this. If you want a good laugh, I'd definitely suggest this one. I finished this show in just a day then I re-watch it every now and then, especially if I want to laugh. It never fails!

I first watched this when I was in college. This show made me want to live in the Upper East Side and dream of luxurious trips, designer clothes and shoes, big gatherings, and so much more. Indeed, I realized that there's a big difference when it comes to the problems of the rich people and the average class. Some of my classmates in college used to hate this show because it's not realistic in the Philippine setting, but for some, just like me, this show motivates me to achieve greater things in life.

Aside from Friends, this is my all time favorite. Family, love-life, friends, school. All the relatable things in life was tackled here that's why I really admire this one. I couldn't count how many times I've watched this. It's really relatable in all ways. So, if you haven't watched this yet, watch it.

As you can see, there's a common denominator in all of these shows, they're all under the genre slice of life - they're all relatable in some ways and touches the viewer's life. I've learned a lot from these shows and growing up, it became a part of me.

So, tell me if you've watched some of these shows! I'd love to read your favorite scenes.

If you haven't watched it yet, what's stopping you? Go ahead!
