In Jun. 1998, a show called “Sex and the City” was created. The show is about four middle-aged best friends just trying to get through life.
I feel that, excluding the profanity in the show, it had some deep lessons. It teaches you that you’re never too old to have fun with your gals, as well as self-love and finding independence. It also teaches us that it is okay not to be in a relationship with somebody.
Getting old is something I have always been rather scared of. Yet, after watching it, I realized that the fun doesn’t have to end just because I’m an adult.
Samantha, one of the main characters, is 52 in the show, and she lives the most glamorous life. Despite a few things, I would love to be like her when I’m older.
She is a very carefree lady. People dislike her for acting like she’s still young. Which she is, because beauty never breaks.
Samantha teaches us to embrace our femininity and not worry about what other people are saying about us.
Make sure you are always true to yourself. All the characters had such fabulous lives. It didn’t stop once they got older.
It was as if life had just begun for them.
A lot of people are scared to age and become grown-ups.
These were women who embraced whatever situation they were put in and didn’t look down upon themselves.
They were able to prove to us that you don’t need to give up having fun and being youthful. Yes, you may look different, but that doesn’t mean you’re not who you once were.
You become a better version of yourself.
They also embraced their age and didn’t do anything to keep themselves from getting old.
Samantha did do a bit of things here and there, but I believe that’s normal for someone of her age group. The others were slightly younger and never touched their faces or their bodies.
Even in the show, they pointed out how people who were younger than them were getting surgeries and things to change themselves. We see a lot of that now, where people don’t want to look old, so they start doing things to their faces and their bodies, but at such young ages.
All over social media, you can see people who are barely 20 years old getting all these different things done to their faces, only because they don’t want to appear old.
The whole show focused on trying to empower women and make them love who they are, no matter how they look.
It was a perfect example of the struggles women go through.
Another wonderful example of the show having female empowerment and just having a good time for your age is Miranda. She was a hard-working businesswoman who still would take the time out of her busy schedule to make sure she could have some fun with her gals.
Life is all about balance. Learning to balance being an adult and having a good time is a very important skill to learn to be in control of living the life you want to live.
