After a few cocktails and several episodes of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte, the expected question was asked, “which one are you like?” This proved to be more difficult to answer than we thought. I think I’m more like Carrie because I am a writer, and when I was younger, I loved to dress in a more eclectic way. But, now I dress more conservatively; I like to think that I have more class than I used to. I was never overly promiscuous so, I’m more like Charlotte in that respect. I also value monogamy, wedding vows and loyalty within a relationship; again, Charlotte. I used to be very career oriented and business like; Miranda. I believe that every woman should do whatever makes her happy, without being influenced by society’s ideas of the “norm” or what is considered acceptable; this would be Samantha. I’m not much of a party girl now, like Samantha, although I love spending time with my girl friends as all 4 of the S/C girls do.
Each of us went through the same dilemma and we decided that this was not an all or nothing categorization. We would need to re-visit this every year as each of us knew that we were evolving and growing all the time. In my 20’s, I was mostly “party” Samantha with a dream of becoming “married” and “motherly” Charlotte. When I moved into my 30’s I became 80% Charlotte as I became a mother and 20% Miranda as I focused on building a career. My 40’s proved to be a decade of Carrie, not being sure of what I wanted in life. Now, after just turning 50, I feel that a little bit of each of these amazing women make up my whole. I can still mostly relate to Carrie with appearances from the other 3 coming in and out of my life. But, who really knows what life will present? What was the most prevalent part of the evening was that through all of our changing and growing, we will always love and support one another just like C, S, M and C. xoxoxoxo
