I guess the biggest learning curve for me has been seeing the big picture when it comes to love and relationships. As a viewer, it is easy for me to get the point, to see how and why women get crazy and psycho some days, and to understand both side of the stories. The funny thing is that when I am in those situations, many times I act like the naggy annoying woman who is just being a girl and wants attention. Guys are simple and to the point, they know what they are told and what they see. They aren't here to read our minds, they are here to love us and spend time with us. Of course, I am not speaking for all members of the male population, but for those guys who turly love us. We women get so wrapped up in the dumbest little details that don't even matter. We expect men to know everything we want and feel and it doesn't work that way; unless you communicate, you will be waiting frustrated forever.
Obviously, I see the women side of the story, I know guys don't get us most of the times. We think they are careless and selfish. The truth is that they are with us because they love us, otherwise they wouldn't be. We tend to over analyze everything and find little details to hang on and fight about. I am not speaking for all women of course, there are many exceptions. I guess my biggest struggle is growing and being able to see the big picture and enjoy the simple things in life. I believe there has to be great communication and balance for a relationship to work. Sometimes you give in, but many times you gain.
Watching sex and the city allows me see those mistakes women and men make when it comes to relationships. The thing I am working on is making sure I am rational when I encounter those situations in life where I have the choice to make a difference or to be another girl in the city.
Some of my favorite quotes from the show:
"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."
“When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there's no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?”
“Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away”
