I looked up to the Sex and the City characters growing up...Pretty much explains who I became

Whenever I sit at my desk to start blogging, I feel like Carrie Bradshaw. All I need is a cigarette and New york City in front of me. 

Sex and the City is one of my all-time favorite shows, ever (and always will be.) 

Growing up, I wanted to be Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte all wrapped up into one person. 

I loved how much confidence they each had, it drove them, radiated from them. I loved that Samantha could sleep with a different guy every other night and not care if she would ever see him again (in fact, I'm pretty sure most of the time she didn't want to ever see them again.) I loved the high-powered character that Miranda was, she was a partner at a law firm, she was respected and she respected herself. I loved the charisma and poise that Charlotte maintained in everything that she did, she was the definition of class. And, Carrie, who couldn't help but love Carrie? She was the center of the entire story, she was the Sex and the City. I loved that she was always in love, and she wasn't the same person with each lover, she was confident and independent (even if she was always in a ton of debt from shopping but, lets face it, who isn't?)

Not long after I started watching Sex and the City reruns, I knew who I wanted to be when I grew up; I wanted to be a creator, a lover, a writer; a high class slut, a respected woman "in the office," and I wanted to be me. The me that was already me before I started watching Sex and the City. 

I wanted to live in a big city and live the life they all lived. The jobs, the parties, the bars, the brunches, and of course, the sex. 

But, even more than that, I wanted the passion Carrie felt and continued to carry with her through all six seasons for "Big." 

I wanted the love, dedication and loyalty they all shared for one another, themselves included. 

I wanted it all. I wanted to be Sex and the City. 

Being that I am 23, a post graduate, and living in my moms house, I am clearly on my way. HA. 

But, in all seriousness, I am on my way New York. I will save my money, pay off my loans, and in no time, I will be living in my own flat in New York City. I will probably be living on coffee, cigarettes, ramen and beer but, it won't matter because I will be there, and that is all that matters.
