Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, or Samantha? Which Sex and the City Character am I and why am I asking this question? It all started when my former roommate started recording old episodes of Sex and the City. This was a show at a fairly young age that I came across on HBO and always hear rave reviews about. It scared me away when I stumble upon an episode where a man was going down on Samantha. This show is NOT appropriate for me I remember thinking, so never was I to return, until now. So, my former roommate started DVRing it and a few episodes later I was hooked. NOW my guilty pleasure is reruns of Sex and the City. I come home each day and first thing is I look at the DVR to see if any shows recorded. Sometimes it's a just a few in a day, sometimes it several.
So why am I so addicted to Sex and the City? Because it is SO relatable. I feel like every one of the characters has some characteristic that I possess. When I watch Sex in the City I don't feel SO alone in the dating world and my quest for love.
So the question today is...which character is MOST like me? Naturally you want to lean towards Carrie, since we share the same name and everything, and since she's a writer and well I kind of am too. BUT I studied PR just like Samantha, although I do not share the sex-crazed quality that Samantha has which allows her to put her feelings aside and have SO MUCH casual sex. I think we can also tell I want to be monogamous, unlike Samantha.
Then there is Charlotte's, who dream is obviously is to get married and to have a family and a baby and the whole white-picked-fence fantasy. She just wants to be married and be in love and she does whatever it takes to make that happen. This, yes, this is very much me.
Miranda, she is very stubborn and independent...which are definitely qualities I have...
In the end...all the characters want to be loved, adored and appreciated and all of them have their strengths and weaknesses.
The show really shows women and their vulnerabilities and that not all women get that happily-ever-after fairy tale instantly. Maybe I will be in my 30's when I find that "IT" relationship.
Sex in the City will remain close to my heart because with it in my life I know I'm not alone. Even though the show is fiction it was still written by real people who probably had their hearts thrown around just like Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha. No I can't pick just one character, because there is a little of each in me and I think that exactly the way the writers wanted it to be.
I may not be an amazing columnist like Carrie, but I write from my heart and I don't hold anything back and I don't try to be something I'm not. That's all I can give you and I hope you all can appreciate it. Let's all live life and have lots of "Sex in the City."
