Times change, people change. We’re obviously not the same people we were about two years ago. And what changes us, are the experiences that we have throughout our lives. If you’ve opened this post then you definitely must be a Sex and the City fan. As much as we fans wanted to be a Carrie Bradshaw, we know for a fact that we can’t be her.
Honestly, I’m a big quiz-taker. Every time I saw an SATC quiz, I’d instantly take it. Most of the times, I was declared a Carrie, until very recently – I took an SATC quiz and the results were not the same anymore – I was no more Carrie, but a Miranda Hobbes.
Anyhoo, you don’t have to take a quiz to know who you are – these 11 (then and now) signs will prove your transition from a Carrie to a Miranda:
1) Your Search For Love
Then
It was all about the idea of a “ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming love.”
Now
The idea of “inconvenient, consuming love” is ridiculous!
2) On your need for love
Then
You expected the love of your life to give you as much as you gave him.
Now
You’re so over the concept of “giving” love that…
3) On Being Stuck Up
Then
You mull over why you were dumped or your partner chose someone else.
Now
You just get OVER IT!
4) The Effect Of Your Past On Your Present
Then
Come what may, you’d retract to your past.
Now
You look forward to a great future.
5) On Finding A Reason For Everything
Then
You always tried to find some logic in love.
Now
You’ve seen it all, and you have better things to turn to…
6) Expectations From Your Partner
Then
You used to whine!
Now
You still do, but you’ve solved the mystery behind it.
7) About those rants
Then
When you lost, you LOST IT!
Now
You’ve come to terms with the morons in the world and you lose it, without really LOSING IT!
8) Men And Their Choices
Then
Men are superficial creatures, and anything beyond that was hard for you to believe.
Now
You meet some men who challenge your beliefs.
9) When It’s About Being Materialistic
Then
What mattered more was what others could see in you.
Now
It’s all about what matters to you.
10) On Faking It
Then
It was all about faking it only to spare someone’s feelings.
Now
It’s a NO!
11) Letting Others Rule Your Life
Then
Opinions were your source of survival.
Now
YOU are your own source of survival.
To conclude, Miranda and Carrie were amazing people in their own right. And even though you’ve been through this transition, there might be a little Carrie in you or somewhere near you (as in a friend, not a ghost #justsaying) – you might outgrow those remnants or live with them.
So, are you a Hobbes now?
