Resumo de Inspired By "sex & The City"

I recently finished watching the final sixth season of Sex and the City, and though the show might leave a lot to be desired from an intellectual perspective, it also brings up and explores many relevant issues in different contexts, including a feminine (feminist?) sensibility. Carrie Bradshaw (the protagonist), a writer based in Manhattan, poses an awesome question: What women should do versus what women could do or want to do. In fact, I believe this is one vital dilemma that many of us are faced with; it is a question which unites the sexes, the rich and the not so rich, and so forth.
It seems like we have all been conditioned and socialized so miraculously, that we do not even realize it. So many times we are wearing all these masks, that we forget ourselves. And subsequently, sometimes we feel like we don't want to know ourselves, and that is precisely because we have ostensibly forgotten ourselves. But thats just it. We haven't forgotten ourselves. It just appears this way. With a little courage we can tread through our masks; you deserve to connect directly as well.
The writer presents a brief narrative solely for you; the setting; anyplace, the timing: anytime, the date: today- "I should take the higher paying job. I should be realistic. I should grow up (as much as I deny the existence of the concept!). I should be in a relationship which promises a "future". I should socialize. I should pretend to be happy, when I socialize. I should make my choices (who has initiated these choices?)..." Should this be you? Could this be you?
Isn't this interesting? The "shoulds" seem to have an exponential effect. One should leads to the other should, and sometimes our life becomes what it should be really, not necessarily what we want it to be. Alas, when we are posed with the curiosity of what we would want our life to be; we naturally answer with what are lives should be.
There is much laughter in this irony; just as there is beauty in tragedy. Isn't it befitting that such shows make us think; for all is not lost- it is only us sometimes who are lost. But with courage and love, for ourselves and the world around us, getting lost can lead to re-discovering ourselves, that what we are- no shoulds attached (I daresay!).
