Whether you fell in love with the independent, B.A.B, beautiful Carrie Bradshaw from the classic show, "Sex And The City," or the spin off, "The Carrie Diaries," you do not stand alone in your obsession with the fictional character played by both Sarah Jessica Parker, and AnnaSophia Rob. For me, as a young aspiring journalist, from the tri-state area, Carrie Bradshaw is my nonexistent role model. Through every funny comment, break up, and accomplishment that Carrie has had, we can all relate to her. So, here are a few reasons why Carrie Bradshaw is the G.O.A.T, and the best person to never exist:
1. Her fashion sense
You have to love her shopping and shoe addiction, and she's just the cutest.
2. Love life
Carrie's openness towards every relationship she had was so genuine, and we learned from every failed relationship she had. It's so inspiring to see a woman who is such an open book, but yet so strong. Her wisdom makes her everyone's own personal therapist.
3. Her wisdom
You can't not love the way Carrie puts her thoughts into words. She is a journalist, but borderline a philosopher.
4. Her funny quotes
Nobody's quotes are more relatable than hers. She says what everyone is thinking.
5. Her friend group
Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda are the original #SquadGoals. Every friend group can relate to these ladies on some level. You can't deny that you want to go to breakfast with them.
7. Her open mindedness
What did Carrie not try?
8. She lives in NYC
Carrie couldn't live anywhere but the best city in the world. period.
9. She follows her dreams
Carrie is beyond dedicated to her column, even though it wasn't always easy, her determination, creativity and openness led to her success.
So there you have it, these simple reasons are why Carrie Bradshaw is my favorite fictional character. No other TV show character has ever been so real, and relatable. Between her smoking and shopping addictions, her complicated love life and her determination, I think Carrie is a character that all young girls can relate to. While so many TV shows create an unrealistic, unreachable fantasy, Sex And The City and The Carrie Diaries have always kept it one hundred percent real, and gave young girls a show that they can learn from, laugh at and be inspired from. To the creator of Sex and The City, thank you for Carrie Bradshaw.
