Is the risk worth taking?

Finally! I watched Sex and the City =) Great show, beautiful wardrobe, and yes, much after thought. The show just brings out so much of the common dilemma we face in life today, and it tells so much about the power of love, friendship, expectations, choices bla bla.I must say that I can see a bit of myself in all 4 characters - Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda, which could perhaps be why I have so thoughts after the show.

I'll start of with Charlotte, whose life is perfect, to the point whereby she is paranoid that something will go wrong in her life just like everyone else. It just reminded me of how i used to think that if something is too good to be true, then it must be too good to be true. Till now, i still dont know if that's the case, but my friend once told me that I should believe it's true, and be happy and thankful about it. But still, how can we naively accept that things are so close to perfect? Especially when the people around you are going through shit? I still have my doubts man.

Next, I'll go on to Samantha. My Beloved just told me just now that I am like Samantha ever since I came back from my grad trip. And although I did conciously thought about that during the movie, I had to reassure him and said I disagree. Samantha loves her guy, but at the end of the day, she loves herself more. And although she may not be able to find another perfect guy for herself, she took the risk to give up the relationship to be herself, to be happy.

Ok come to think of it, maybe Beloved is true. I am like Samantha. I dunno if it is good or bad.. but when i told my friends about it.. they asked me to slap him. haha. Still, I can totally undersand the dilemma that Samantha was facing.. and I guess I may not be brave enough to follow the path she has chosen. Ultimately, I don't really know which path will actualy make me happier.. and Life is simply too short for any regrets.
