Carrie Bradshaw is a pop culture icon, and one of my favorite television characters. Bradshaw, who is a 30-something who explores the dating world of New York one article at a time, has said some pretty wise stuff over the show’s six-season run that every Millennial could apply to their day-to-day lives to help them get through the day.
Here are some of Carrie’s wisest words, guaranteed to get you through a rough day, to encourage you to buy that sweater you’ve been eyeing, to remind you it's OK to be single or to be on your next Instagram caption.
1. “The fact is, sometimes it's really hard to walk in a single woman's shoes. That's why we need really special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun.”
2. “I like my money where I can see it -- hanging in my closet.”
3. “Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.”
4. “I will never be the woman with the perfect hair, who can wear white and not spill on it.”

5. “I’m looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love.”
6. “They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style.”
7. “After all, seasons change, so do cities; people come into your life and people go. But it’s comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away.”
8. “When men attempt bold gestures, generally it's considered romantic. When women do it, it's often considered desperate or psycho.”

9. “The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.”
10. “I revealed too much too soon. I was emotionally slutty.”
11. "When it comes to relationships, maybe we're all in glass houses, and shouldn't throw stones. Because you can never really know. Some people are settling down, some are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies..."
12. "Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart..."
13. “Life gives you lots of chances to screw up which means you have just as many chances to get it right.”
14. “It wasn’t logic. It was love.”
15. “They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go. But friendships never go out of style!”

16. "The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them and others you don’t, but in the end, they’re the people you always come home to. Sometimes it’s the family you’re born into and sometimes it’s the one you make for yourself.”
17. “Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be.”
18. “Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with.”
19. “People say ‘Everything happens for a reason.’ These people are usually women. And these women are usually sorting through a break-up. It seems that men can get out of a relationship without even a ‘Goodbye.’ But, apparently, women have to either get married or learn something.”
