the vows just make everything so much worse.

we all knew dan loved blair but now we know what she’s done for him, what his love for her has taught him, and how it’s changed his life. we know what he thinks when he looks at her, and it makes it all hurt that much more.

all this time it’s seemed it’s always dan taking care of blair, comforting her, being her confidant and it might have seemed that he didn’t get anything out of it, but now we now that’s not true. she inspired him in ways we couldn’t imagine, she made him see the world differently. she made him into someone he likes, she helped him to accept himself.

since he’s fallen in love with her he’s learned how to live, he’s learned to love himself, and he’s learned to be brave and take chances, to not run away from love even if it breaks your heart, he’s become the best selling author of a novel inspired by her.

blair waldorf has changed dan’s life in ways I never even imagined. more than anyone else. more than his first love and dream girl. blair’s more than that because she’s the real deal for him, she’s the love of his life. you can see it in the way he looks at her, and his face when other people bring her up, he knows she’s the one. but he’s still willing to sacrifice his own happiness for her sake. he’d do anything for her, his own feelings are the furthest thing from his mind. she’s taught him what it really means to love someone. and god damn if it’s not the most beautiful and heart wrenching thing I’ve ever seen play out on my tv screen.
