i love everything about this

i stopped watching satc after season 4, because Carrie just anoyed me too much.

but what i noticed in the first seasons is that the girls kind of talked down to charlotte like "oh yes charlotte, you are gonna get your man and be happy" in a sarcastic way

like, why? she knew excactly what she wanted and when men just didnt were like that she stopped dating them. i remember the girls pushing her to go out more (i think but idk) and i really couldnt understand it. she made her point clear from the beginning. why are you trying to get her to give up? why not beliving her?

and (fuck ass) Carrie made fun of her and her dreams but cheated on her fiance (i think) with big and brocke off his marrige. good job girly. (i cannot stand her xd)

but im happy that charlotte got what she wanted. she worked hard for it

i talked to my therapist once about something like that. About selfworth.

if you get up everymorning and be like "oh, i look so ugly, im so lazy, i cant do this, i cant do that, ...", you are telling yourself what you will be

if you get up and be like "i am so beautiful, i am hard working, i can do this, i can do that, etc" you can. it doesnt matter if you belive it at first, but after time you will. and then it will become true. you are gonna find yourself beautiful and you can archive what you want simply because you told yourself so

and in a lot of things in life it is that way.

"you can do it if you belive in yourself" yes, that is 100% true

I love this! I think you nailed it on the head when it comes to manifestation: "When you know what you want, you filter your choices differently." I too am not a woo-woo person, but having a clear idea of what I want and those outcomes without a clear path has definitely led me to make choices, often subconsciously, that take me one step closer. How I spend my time, where I go, who I take interest in chatting with, etc. Those small changes and decisions are each a nudge forward and eventually you'll land at your destination.

I also think the world has a specific type for jealously for a woman who is willing to voice she wants something out of her reach. We mark them as silly and naive, but maybe those criticizing are really just jealous she's going for it.

This was such a cute read 🥹 I adore Charlotte and was always told I have Charlotte energy, which was strange to me as I'm a writer, slightly financially irresponsible and never wanted children. But the older I get, the more I'm complimented by it. She's so self-assured and poised!
