No, I don't reside in New York, I don't have a tight click of girl friends that I do lunch with regularly, I'm not skinny (or white), I don't really care about shoes or designer fashion too much, and I'm not dating anyone (which means that I don't have this elusive rich guy named Big who is chasing my affections. Actually no one is chasing me at all.), and I'm not having sex with the city of New York (or anyone/anywhere else). Despite everything that I am not, somehow I am Carrie Bradshaw.
For those of you who have no clue what I am talking about, I am referring to the beautifully fictitious character played by Sarah Jessica Parker on Sex In The City. Though I wasn't a fan of the show when it was on regularly (mostly because I didn't have cable), I am a total junkie now. I thrifted the entire series *#winning* and I watch the episodes over and over again. There is something special about being a thirty something and watching these other thirty somethings attempt to navigate life just like you are.
I am Carrie Bradshaw because I'm working in my area of passion and I want to be awesome at it. I want people to recognize my contributions and be respected for what I do. I am in search of love too! Every couple of weeks I mentally throw the towel in but, there is still a huge glimmer of hope behind all of the doom and gloom. My house is small and a hodgepodge like hers, but it's warm and chill.
What I love about Carrie is that she just wanted to enjoy her life and find people and a special someone to enjoy it with her. That lead her to kiss a lot of frogs (I'm avoiding that part), but she eventually got her man. In addition, she was able to travel and experience aspects of life that few of us will ever be able to.
Is there a character on tv that you identify with? Who is it and what is it about them that reminds you of yourself or the person that you hope to be? Please dish!
Living & Lovings,
