Some thoughts about love.

Lao Tzu said loving someone deeply gives you courage, but there comes a time in every woman’s life when the love they do have gives them doubts. How can you really differentiate between the saying of I love yous and the doing so? Today I got to thinking about my own relationship and I realized, it does not give me courage anymore. It’s habitual and it’s comfortable yet I have invested too much in it. So I stay. Not because the stocks are high, but because the stocks are stable. I wonder, when it comes to love, is comfortable worth fighting for? 

Sometimes, when I'm feeling down I channel my inner Carrie Bradshaw. Hence, this post. Don't worry! I'm not going all nega on you :) I just needed to vent and write about things, but I'll be going back to regular programming starting...now :)

The Carrie Diaries Premieres

I have watched and watched and watched Sex and the City (Yes, again and again!) and I don't think I'll ever get tired of Carrie's voice-overs, outfits and perfect posse. Now, the CW is bringing us a new chance to look at Carrie Bradshaw: as a young teenager, going to high school in the 80s and having her first love. I actually have read the book, The Carrie Diaries way  and loved it. So I don't even really need to explain why I am looking forward to this show.

Playing the young Carrie is Anna Sophia Robb, who I agree is the best person for the job. I first loved her in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory then I saw Because of Winn Dixie and that's when I became a fan. Check this article about her on Teen Vogue!

Of course, Carrie cannot be spoken of without mentioning what she's wearing.

The Carrie Bradshaw we know is never without an entertaining posse.

Meet Walt, Maggie, and Mouse.

We also get to see Carrie take her first steps in the fields of love.

Here's Carrie with dreamy Sebastian Kidd. (More importantly, check out her bag!)

 

What is high school without mean girls?

Meet Donna.

It's exciting to see Carrie as a young high school student, making sense of the world of fashion, relationships and New York! I have known and loved Carrie Bradshaw the 30-something New York Star Columnist, Manhattan girl, Manolo lover... I can't wait to know Carrie Bradshaw young, naive, and meeting Manhattan for the first time.

Every inch true Carrie Bradshaw

Have you watched the first episode? What do you think? No spoilers though! I'll only be able to watch it this weekend. I'm packed with school works, huhu.
