Sex and the City Wisdom ...

Since Sex and the City ended, It's become a tradition that every summer I dust of my pink collectors edition series set. It often starts with watching some of my favorite episodes, but quickly turns into having a full out marathon of the series. I think Sex and the City is my favorite show of all time because of how brilliantly it is written. Throughout my adult life, I have found a deep connection with the characters and story lines. The best part of these marathons is that I get to rediscover the show and find new wisdom, as I have grown and changed along the years.

So tonight, I wanted to share of the
Sex and the City Quotes that are speaking to me as I make my way through the series again ....

That night I started to think about belief. Maybe it's not even advisable to be an optimist after the age of 30. Maybe pessimism is something we have to start applying daily, like moisturizer. Otherwise, how do you bounce back when reality batters your belief system and love does not, as promised, conquer all? Is hope a drug we need to go off of? Or is it keeping us alive? What's the harm in believing?

Why is it that we only seem to believe the negative things people say about us, no matter how much evidence there is to the contrary? A neighbor, a face, an ex-boyfriend can cancel out everything we thought was once true. Odd, but when it comes to life and love, why do we believe our worst reviews?

Can you really forgive if you can't forget?

After all, computers crash, people die, relationships fall apart. The best we can do is breath and reboot.

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.

Sometimes second chances work out even better than the first because you learn from your mistakes.

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.

What does this really mean? The ball is in my court or something? I don't wanna play games. This is not the grand gesture. This is the vague gesture. Which is truly worse than no gesture at all.






... Hope you Enjoyed
