rule #24: love is a choice.
“We are creatures of choice. That means that we have the capacity to make poor choices, which all of us have done. We have spoken critical words, and we have done hurtful things. We are not proud of those choices, although they may have seemed justified at the moment. Poor choices in the past don’t mean that we must make them in the future.”

carrie's realization.
Then I had a thought, maybe I didn’t break Big. Maybe the problem was he couldn’t break me. Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with.

i'm doing better than you.
And that’s when I realized, Big was nervous.
It was odd. The new ”friend” part of me felt incredibly compassionate while the old ”girlfriend” part of me felt incredibly smug.

carrie on "can you be friends with an ex?"
Later that night, I got to thinking about the ex factor.
In mathematics, we learned that ”x” stands for the unknown. “a” plus ”b” equals ”x.” But what’s really unknown is: what plus what equals friendship with an ex?
Is this an unsolvable equation? Or is it possible to transform a once-passionate love into something that fits nice and easily onto the friendship shelf?
I couldn’t help but...

the truth about breakups.
Believe me. I would love to be one of those people who’s all: “We loved, thank you. You enriched my life. Now, go, prosper.”
But I’m much more: ”We didn’t work out, you need to not exist.”

carrie on "twenty-something girls"
I began to realize, that the biggest threat twenty-something girls posed was to themselves. Annoying, yes. Dangerous, no. They were simply our youthful doppelgangers who needed our compassion more than anything.
