I Love Sex and the City

It's been criticized. It's been frowned upon.
I know, I know, but I love it. And it's deeper than just a favorite show. After all, there is motivation behind everything....

Here's why:
The script is brilliant, it moves quickly with wit, pushing the envelope and taking a stand.
For a single women in today's world, it offers a solace that is hard to match. The writers of the show have tackled every issue, from the challenges of transitioning from singlehood to married, challenges of intimacy, dealing with cancer, dating, dating, dating to no end result, trying to get pregnant, shopping, an invasive mother in law, the balance of self within a pair. The show always paints a hilarious and yet equally frustrating picture about the situations men create for women...it colors the ups and downs of figuring out who you are as a woman taking space for herself in this modern world, managing career and friends, heartbreaks and healing, new discoveries and old wisdom. Yes, it's indulgent at times, fantasy can overstep reality, but it beckons a dialogue about the challenges we do face.

That is our reality. And it's nice to relate to it with laughter and understanding, knowing full well there are others in our boat of single struggle and self-discovery. There will be more on this later. :)
