Great comments. You're right about the sex and the city characters mirroring the real (or imaginary lives) of many of us. And we agree about being glad Carrie found happiness but just wishing it had been with someone else. As for worrying, I'm not, I'd rather do it right once and later in life, than spend years regretting making the wrong choice. What's also true though, and an interesting point is outgrowing the show. I think so many of us are afraid of outgrowing things – basically afraid of growing up. I saw someone's Facebook post the other day in reaction to whatever J-Lo was wearing at the AMA's. I didn't watch it, but the comment was “Jen – it's ok to grow up!” I agree – and I think that's a great topic for a post!

The other reason I liked and watched “Sex” was that it was nostalgic for me – at one point it was my life (working in NYC, the nightlife, fancy restaurants, handsome men, serial dating…loneliness and the feeling that there was something more out there in the universe). I knew these characters and who they were trying to be and some of their experiences either reminded me of something I had done, something I thought of doing or something I'm glad I never did. I was fortunate to have found what I was looking for before they did and at the same time the series came to an end, I had outgrown the show.

With the movie I was glad that Carrie had found happiness, Charlotte had her baby, Samantha stayed true to herself and Miranda took back Steve. If I had my choice, Carrie would have married someone else with just as happy an ending. We have to make out own happy ending but we don't have to ignore the sirens in our heads or lower our standards to do that. Don't worry Admin…your day is coming. Until it does, be forty, be fabulous and have fun!
