As I sat here wondering what my next article will be about, I couldn't help but relate this to Carrie Bradshaw sitting at her desk in New York City figuring out what her next article would be about. At that moment, I suddenly realized how much "Sex and the City" has affected my life. And if you haven't seen "Sex and the City," exit out of this article and head to Amazon right now, where all the seasons are there for you (thank you, Amazon Prime!).
The hype of "Sex and the City" may have slowed down, but at the end of the day "Sex and the City" is hands down one of the best shows ever to be made. But what makes the show so special? Is it Carrie's fashion? Samantha's strong, independent will? Miranda's toughness? Or Charlotte's search of fairytale love? All in all, each of them make the show so relatable.
The show empowers women, but not just any women, women in their 30's, yet I just hit my 20's and I am hooked on this show, and can relate in all aspects of life. It revolves around men, friendship, and also independency.
Sex and the City may have come to an end, but we can apply the lessons learned from this show. The show may have a lot of glamour and excessive amounts of drama, but behind all that are 4 women trying to live their life. Be Carrie. Be Samantha. Be Miranda. Be Charlotte.
Here are 16 of the most relatable gifs from Carrie and Co.
1. When someone asks you how you workout.
2. When you were supposed to be ready at 8 pm, and it is 8:05 pm and you are still standing in your towel.
3. But then you find that perfect dress.
4. When people start talking about politics.
5. But then the political talk continues and you've had enough.
6. When you're walking home after your friends dragged you out to a party.
7. When you get dumped out of nowhere and don't know what to do with yourself.
8. When you finally get the courage to put yourself first.
9. When all else fails.
10. When you've had enough of looking for "the one."
11. When one of your best friends goes through a break-up.
12. When there's just one thing you really, really want.
13. When someone pisses you off.
14. When you know you look good.
15. When everything just becomes numb.
16. But at the end of the day, you and your girls are all you ever need.
Thank you, Carrie and Co. for putting life in a whole new perspective for all of us. And always remember: "They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style" -Carrie Bradshaw.
