I’m rewatching Sex and The City for the twentieth time, but I think this time is the first time I’ve ever really paid attention to character development and saw things as an “adult”. When Carrie had an affair with Big while with Aiden, I found myself fuming this time around. ​

​I’m a person who gives my all in everything I do. This means that in a relationship, I seek monogamy to be able to give all of myself to that person and believe that person is doing the same thing for me. I am also very traditional in believing that a girl should be pursued by the guy as the Bible says, “he who finds a wife,” not she who finds a husband, therefore the generation in which I was born has destroyed dating culture and finding someone with a similar mindset is slim to none.

Given, I haven’t dated a boatload of men, but I have found a handful that I wish a future would’ve been possible with, however, dating in modern era is like trying to keep a sinking ship above water. I’m not trying to say all men are trash, but frankly, some men are trash.
