I actually started watching it towards my 2nd year here in Spain, after another painful break up with S. One night, while being abscent-minded on the couch and worn out from crying and lack of sleep, Jennie had teh show on, and I found out that while I watched it I stopped thinking, hurting, and I concentrated on that instead of my own misery. Why? *shrugs*<br /><br />I got to the point where I used to spend hour watching episodes on TV back-to-back, and feeling lost on the weekends when the show wasn't aired. Thank goodness it played in POrtugal while I visited!!<br /><br />Anyway, in my delirious state, I started analyzing more than just "a drug for my soul and mind", I noticed all the subject addressed in the show, as well as the different personalities, and their own different problems. Like real women, they had glorious moments as well as miserable ones, some sillier than others, and yes, at the end of each episode I wondered why did I have to be 75%Charlotte and 25% Miranda, but I think we all can identify with the characters at some extent (lucky are the ones who can truly see themselves in Samantha, DAMN!)<br /><br />I started watching the series from the begining, and eventually the 1st movie, which moved me to tears while I was watching Carrie being half dead in a resort and Mexico and seeing myself reflected the same way in Portugal.<br /><br />Yet, the show portrais a lot of things that are impossible for us, not only in their love life, but also their life style. Who can really afford to have a flat in NYC and a closet filled with Manolos at the same time. Oh yes! Carrie!<br /><br />MildredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
