10 life lessons from Sex and the City

Sex and the City was first released in 1998. Yes, yes, 15 years ago. However, this series is still one of the phenomena in the television world. Everyone watched him, and if they didn’t, then at least they heard about him and know some of the heroes. And despite all the time that has passed since the release of the popular series, we still have a lot to learn from Samantha, Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte.

1. Find your own style.

It's not hard to see that the main characters that the series revolves around represent different types of women, and this is best seen in their clothing style. Carrie has always been one step ahead and was not afraid to combine the seemingly incongruous. Miranda is a professional from head to toe, so she knows how to wear office clothes with dignity. Samantha is a sex bomb who is convinced that the main thing is the details. Charlotte is an incorrigible romantic with a classic style of dress.

2. Being alone is not a tragedy.

Yes, breaking up with a loved one is always unpleasant, but Sex and the City taught women that any breakup is a step forward.

3. A successful career is possible even if you have a personal life.

Miranda proved it to us. Although Brady came as a surprise to her, this did not stop her from building a successful career. Despite sleepless nights and bags under her eyes, she raised her son and built her professional career. It's not easy, and success won't come overnight, but it's possible. No need to sacrifice professional satisfaction for the happiness of being a mother. It can be perfectly combined.

4. Keep friends.

Sometimes we can cut off relationships with friends. There are many reasons for that. Chaotic lifestyle, boyfriend envy, family problems. There are many excuses, but in the end, if your heart is broken and you see no way out, your friends will help you much more than any therapist or a bottle of vodka.

5. There are no ideal relationships.

But there are other halves. At least that's what Charlotte proved to us. When she married Trey McDougal, her life was like a picture out of a fashion magazine. Both are beautiful - with a career and money. Order, harmony, love. And although they were supposedly made for each other, there was nothing in common between them. They divorced, and Charlotte was waiting for her prince on horseback. And he appeared in the form of Harry Goldenblatt, a short, overweight Jew with a hairy back, who made her truly happy.

6. Don't lose your individuality.

When someone loves you, he loves you for who you are and does not ask you to change. It is not necessary that your personality merge with the personality of your partner, you must find a compromise. Do not forget who you really are for the sake of someone who may not be with you in a week.

7. Beauty has no age.

You can be a beautiful woman at any age, and Samantha perfectly demonstrated this to us. Despite the fact that she and her friends have a rather noticeable age difference (about 10 years), Samantha looks just gorgeous!

8. Respect your choice.

No matter what decision you make, you need to respect it. Whether it's an easy decision, like changing your style of dress, or a difficult one, like changing your orientation.

9. Quarrels with friends are normal.

If you want your friend to constantly agree with you and encourage you, no matter what decision you make, then you are an immature person. Or "mirror man". Friends have a different opinion and when they quarrel, this is quite normal. Of course, this does not mean that the friendship is over. You need to respect your friends' opinions and their individuality, even if you don't agree with it.

10. Accept failures, learn from them and move on.

The most important life lessons we learn in the most difficult moments in life. But a broken heart is often a woman's best teacher. Learn from your mistakes and analyze them objectively to protect yourself in the future. And when you say to yourself “I won’t do it again!”, remember how it hurt you then and keep your word.
