5 things that Sex and the City taught us
1998: The first installment of the series produced by HBO sees the light of the sun. 2008, the first film. 10 years and 6 seasons to convince us all to move to New York. In fact, one of the cult series of these years takes place right in the heart of New York, telling us about the life of four friends, in all its nuances, with the narrating voice of Carrie (our Sarah Jessica Parker) to take us by the hand in the their story, through his articles written for the Sex and the City column.
Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha did more than just warm our hearts under the covers on the grayest Friday nights; they showed us that so many things we thought impossible were possible, that we didn't have to be "home and church"; they made us experience freedom and made us dream, dream a lot: dreaming of friendship, independence, shopping and, finally, dreaming of great love. Oh yeah, even dreaming of orgasm, because Sex and the City has allowed us today to enjoy a video like this, see:
1. A single woman is strong
Our four virtual friends are four singles in New York, looking for themselves. The beauty is that they are 4 career women, alone but never alone, because they can count on each other, and completely independent. They look after their lives independently, they have no men to rely on and, in short, they are happy all the same.
Seeing that a woman is free to be a woman as she wants to be, without any man coming to save her from the cataclysms of the universe, even three out of four in search of great love, was really cool. They are looking for love, ok, but they are fine even without it, indeed, not having it strengthens them.
Seeing, not imagining it, that a woman is strong even when single, experiencing how well one can feel good in one's loneliness, even at the age of 30, hasn't it made us a little stronger?

2. True friendship is a priceless gift
Always friends, all different, sometimes with not very similar characters (see Charlotte and Samantha, the incurable romantic and the seductress par excellence). The beauty of seeing them so united and accomplices, so in disagreement yet always friends, is the beauty of being able to count on a friend always and regardless of everything else. The value of female friendship, the power of female friendship, always criticized and pilloried, she is untouchable in this TV series. Friends are the truest and most real mirror you can have, they are the truth when you do not want the truth, the consolation when you are desperate, the lightness when you want to escape and the family when you you feel lonely Miranda and Carrie's New Year forever in our hearts.

3. Shopping is a form of "independence and love"
Shopping is not just a hysterical outlet to put an end to our PMS cravings. Certainly it is that too, and attention, we are granted! But the beauty is that being able to buy what we want, appreciate the idea that something produced by a designer is a "work of art", decide what to wear, choose who you want to be: these are all ways to take care of yourself. show is a way to love each other, and each one guarantees this personal love with a personal lifestyle, which makes them more unique and strong, regardless of everything.

4. Our sexuality has value
Our friends are free to have all the sex they want, with who they want, how they want and with all the sex toys they prefer. In the relationship with the City, Sex has a great weight and what made us dream is precisely the freedom in living one's sexuality. This freedom is a right, which is not subject to any judgment, just because we are women. Samantha, for her own sake and for the sake of this lifestyle, breaks a stable relationship of 4 years: yes, for the sake of sex. In short, thanks Sex and the City, because you made us understand that we deserve orgasm, and that sexuality and sex must no longer be a taboo, but a continuous, precious discovery and a healthy and fun form of pleasure.

5. True love exists, but it's not as easy as in fairy tales
The search for the great A., the one that almost all the protagonists are looking for, is not an easy thing. Great love is made up of expectations, expectations, trust, availability, friendship and, above all, compromises. Many, many more than you might think. Nothing happy and contented for free, and no balances on love. Each of the protagonists experiences a huge disappointment, either from a first love that they are forced to let go, or just a blow from their life partner. Yet, she does not give up at the first difficulty , we struggle, we go through immense vicissitudes, for a daily life that complicates everything. We understand that a strong and independent woman is not easy to manage, as well as a family in a life as complicated as today. But ... but if you believe it, and if you want to build, then here comes our Mr. Big, to save us from ourselves, and to relieve the fatigue.
