"Sex And The City" Is Much More Than Just "Sex And The City"

It's a woman's dating Bible.

Carrie Bradshaw’s authentically kittenish dialogue in the award-winning TV show "Sex And The City" serves as not only a narrative of the show’s storyline but a guideline of romance for the audience. Bradshaw reveals the ups and downs regarding dating, friendships, and the unpredictable events life hands us through the spontaneity, drama, and life lessons she and her friends experience throughout the show.

While Carrie and her best friends, Charlotte, Samantha, and Miranda, all seek their individual romantic paths on their journeys to find love in the Big Apple, they are faced with many (and I mean many) romantic adversities that we can all relate to on a spiritual level.


When dealing with the drama that comes along with our quests to find “the one,” sometimes we lose sight of how to navigate our way through the dating life and tend to become the psychotic, boy crazy women we claim we never will become.

However, "Sex And The City" reminds us that as women, it is our nature to freak out over an unanswered call, or in today’s generation, an answered Snap and that it is acceptable to be crazy (in some circumstances).

Every Sex And The City fan can say she (or he) has four additional best friends: Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte. The characters in the series are not only relatable, but they are honest and touchingly real as they undergo the struggles almost every woman faces at one point in her life. You literally feel as if you are sitting with your girlfriends yourself when you turn on the show.

One of the most genuine aspects of this series is the raw conversations between the women regarding their sex lives. "Sex And The City" aired between 1998 and 2004, a time before today’s pivotal gender equality movements and especially a time when society placed such a restrictive idea of how women should act.

However, "Sex And The City" is simply iconic for saying "fuck it" to society’s ladylike expectations for women, revealing the conversations women actually have behind closed doors. Surprise, boys, you aren’t the only ones who talk about your sex lives.


Overall, this show is undoubtedly not only a woman’s guilty pleasure, but a safe haven, judgement-free zone, and lifestyle guide to tackle romance. "Sex And The City" puts women's sexual shame to rest and invigorates female sexuality, independence, and confidence. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you start binge-watching now.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
