20 Carrie Bradshaw Quotes Every 20-Something Girl Should Hear

HBO

Throughout the 6 amazing seasons of Sex and the City, Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte, have offered us viewers many pieces of valuable advice ranging from topics concerning men, friendships, fashion, career path, to the best Chinese takeout in NYC. Though, through it all, Carrie Bradshaw has been the heart of the show and has gone through many interesting experiences that have provided us with an abundance of tried and true advice.

Here's a list of 20 iconic Carrie Bradshaw quotes that every 20-something-year-old should and must hear:

1. "Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with."

2. "As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little a lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going."

3. "Don't forget to fall in love with yourself first."

4. "They say nothing lasts forever; dreams change, trends come and go, but friendships never go out of style."

5. "The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you that you love, well, that's just fabulous."

6. "Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens."

7. "Eventually all the pieces fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment, and know that everything happens for a reason."

8. "It's the rule of life that everything you have always wanted comes the second you stop looking for it."

9. "Some love stories aren't epic novels — some are short stories. But that doesn't make them any less filled with love."

10. "After he left, I cried for a week. And then I realized I do have faith. Faith in myself. Faith that I would one day meet someone... who would be sure I was the one."

11. "Here's to the guys who love us, the losers who lost us, and the lucky bastards that get to meet us."

12. "Maybe the best any of us can do is not to quit, play the hand we've been given, and accessorize the outfit we got."

13. "Maybe the past is like an anchor, holding us back. Maybe you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be."

14. "Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we would never fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart. And, if you are lucky enough, a plane ride away."

15. “I love you, but I love me more.”

16. “I’m looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can’t-live-without-each-other love.”

17. "It's just about loving every inch of yourself regardless of circumstances because we really are that wonderful."

18. "Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate."

19. "The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don't. But, in the end, they’re the people you always come home to. Sometimes it's the family you’re born into and sometimes it's the one you make for yourself."

20. "Life gives you lots of chances to screw up which means you have just as many chances to get it right."

So whenever you find yourself in some sort of slump, think back to these quotes. If Carrie Bradshaw could get through it, so can you.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
