“We’re so over; we need a new word for over.”
That happens to be one of my favorite lines from Sex and the City, if only because I’ve had numerous occasions in my life where this very sentence was not only applicable, but captured the entire essence and nature of the relationship I was in.
Granted I’m currently single and have been so for some time, but I’m feeling moody and wanted to share what I think is one the most poignant, difficult to watch, and yet so real scenes in television history (just excuse the very naked scene at the beginning of the clip).
Everything always comes back to Sex and the City for me. I guess I’ve always wanted to be Carrie because I can identify with her pain, love, triumphs, and obsession with shoes. I’ve never been in this exact situation and hope to God that I never have to be, but Carrie’s angst and ultimate realization is totally speaking to me right now. Watching the Carrie/Big/Aidan mess a few years ago really helped me through a difficult time with my Jenn/Patrick/Josh mess; at that time Josh was my Aidan and Patrick was my Big (and if you’ve read the About Me page you already know that Josh and I were engaged). Carrie’s weaknesses and strengths were (and still are) so very real to me. She’s flawed but she finds her way home.
