Okay so I’m sitting here watching a SATC
(that’s Sex and The City for all you non fans) marathon on the Style network.
Even though I’ve watched every single
episode multiple times and even own the entire series on DVD, I will always
watch it whenever it’s on. I just finished watching the finale where Carrie and
Big FINALLY get back together after her disastrous relationship with Aleksander
Petrovsky.
This episode gets me every single time
because I was a Carrie and Big shipper from the very first episode, even though
Aidan threw me for a bit of a loop, and I always wanted them to be together so
when he walks in that hotel lobby and she looks up and sees him…AAAAAAH!
Anyway, watching the marathon got me to
thinking about what we as women will go through in the pursuit of happiness and
love. Now I get that this is a television show, but bear with me for a moment…
I think a lot of us can relate on some
level to some of the relationship issues that have played out on this show; I
know I can. From hanging out with your best friends to hooking up with the
wrong people (romantic & friendship); to finding the right person but the
timing being off to finally getting together after a long time, a lot of
growing up, and a lot of figuring out what you really want has been done.
Sometimes life feels like a television
show, although not one as fabulous as Sex and the City, in that I feel like I
am going through episodes in my life. Sometimes the episodes play out well and
in perfect order, sometimes I feel like I need to go on hiatus for a while to
reconfigure the story, and sometimes I
just need to shut everything down, cancel the show and start over.
I am at the starting over phase of my life
and I am happy to report that this show will be getting picked up for
additional episodes.
