They shoot single people, don't they?

What made Sex and the City a hit show was not its racy dialogue about sex. It was the friendship between four single women in the city and their ongoing relatable adventures that left viewers wanting more.

Any fan of Sex and the City can tell you which girl they are most like. When my friends and I started watching the show back in high school, the four of us knew which one we were most like. Kayla, who was confident and proud of her sexuality was just like Samantha, Amanda, with her morals and belief in love was Charlotte, and Patricia, the glue who held our group together, was Carrie.

I thought of myself as a Miranda back then, and as I have wound my way through college, there are still times when I still think that. I felt that I related the most to her. She had this amazing career, a great apartment and great friends, but she couldn't find Mr. Right.

Miranda was the cynic. She had been burned in the past, and didn't know if love really existed. She spent six seasons struggling with this and her skepticism of a happy ending.

Sometimes, I find myself strugging with these same issues. If it is too good to be true, then it probably is.

As the series progressed, Miranda changed. She had a baby, she finally gave Steve a chance, and although she had to move to Brooklyn, she finally got her happy ending, even if it wasn't what she had always pictured.

What didn't change was Miranda's loyalty to herself and her friends. She never gave in and took the easy route, and she never settled. She was okay with being a strong woman, and didn't settle for anyone who wouldn't lether be.She did things her own way. And, most importantly, she was loyal andalways there for her friends, even when she thought they might be making a mistake. In return, her friends were always there for her.

And that is what was the best part of Sex and the City. The friendship. Whether you see yourself as a "Carrie" or a "Samantha" etc it doesn't matter. What I envy most about the girls on the show is the deep friendships the characters had. They were each other's soul mates, and that is what I think should be envied the most.
