After watching and re-watching every episode of Sex and The City, I have come to realize that I have learned a lot about life from watching Samantha, Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda. Aside from their love of fashion, good food, men, Cosmopolitans and shoes, they have a love for each other. Each of them has different goals, dreams, wants, and needs. They all stand strong and firm in what they believe in, while their confidence and attitude is something to be followed. So here's just a few things that these Manhattan ladies have taught me over the years.

If You're Going Through Hell, Keep On Going

These girls have been through some stuff. But never once did they give up. Did Carrie give up on Big? Did Samantha give up on being fabulous? Did Charlotte give up her apartment? The answer is no. So don't give up.

Being a Goofball is Good For Your Soul

Sometimes it is good to mess up and laugh. Dance around. Be courageous. Have a fashion show. Laughter is the best medicine.

Do Not Settle

If you want the love of a lifetime, do not settle for anything. If you want to be wooed and kissed and constantly adored, then don't settle for someone who can't give you that. Like Big and Carrie, Miranda and Steve, or Charlotte and Harry, their love was worth the wait and the fight. It took them some time, but their strong and great loves eventually found them.

Love Yourself

With the idea of not settling comes the point of doing what is best for yourself. Sometimes it is a hard decision to make, but ultimately you are your first priority. You are allowed to be selfish when it comes to your well-being and your sanity.

What's in the Past Is In the Past

It is so hard not to dwell on the past, but it can end up tearing us apart. Sometimes it is better to let go and move forward. Without that, we cannot truly live.

There is No Such Thing as "Too Many Clothes"

We have all had the problem of "so many clothes, nothing to wear". The girls have taught me that its okay to be fabulous and splurge every once in a while. Let's just hope our closets can handle to drama.

Your Dream Man isn't Going to Fall From Heaven

As Charlotte begins to realize, it can take more than one try to find the perfect man. With that being said, it can take some time for you to become the perfect women you want to be. So become good enough for yourself and then you will be ready for Mr. Right.

We Can't All Be Sexy

Yeah, I know. This one sucks. You have an amazing personality and a stellar sense of humor, but guys think you are cute. Really? Cute? It's no fun being the girl who is about as sexy as a potato. But that's alright because you are the girl that they want to wife up.

Most Likely, You Will Screw Up

Mistakes are a real life thing. No myth here. But the good news is, there is forgiveness and mercy. The girls experience this a lot not only in their relationships, but in their friendships. Sometimes you fall, but that is why you have others to pick you right back up again.

The Shoe Needs to Fit

Metaphorically and literally. Everything should look and feel perfect whether it comes to an actual pair of shoes or a man. Don't give up on finding the perfect fit.

The Real Love is a Good Love

"Ever thine, Ever mine, Ever ours". Big and Carrie, although rocky and rough, have a real love. Sometimes it can hurt and sometimes it's not perfect. But it is magnetic and worth the risk. Love is something worth fighting for.

We can learn a lot from these four girls and their experiences with relationships, friendships, and the real world. Being fabulous and trying to keep it together is tough. But like they say, life is not always a walk in Central Park. You cannot always have your Magnolia Bakery Cupcake and eat it too. And you can never judge a person until you have walked a mile in their Manolo Blahniks.
