17 Sex And The City Quotes I love

I didn’t used to watch Sex and the City until this year. I’m really weird and hardly ever watch movies or TV, so the fact that I’ve now watched every single episode of this show is sayin a lot. My best friend Linds always told me how much I’d love SATC when we were in college, so when I first moved to Chicago I started watching all the episodes from the beginning before I went to bed.

I love it because it’s so relatable for women our age and the life lessons each character teaches you in every season are so good.  I love how Carrie openly and honestly presents her flaws and personal screw-ups that we all deal with at some point. Hoping my favorite quotes from the show inspire you to live a bit more like Carrie Bradshaw..with quick-wit, confidence, an independent attitude, and with a light hearted mindset when it comes to life and love 🙂

When did it stop being fun and start being scary?”
