Sex And The City

I made a friend at work, her name is Kennedy and she is very nice. Today we went and saw Sex And The City.
A while back, years ago, I had a little ritual for a while. Get the Sex episodes on dvd, sit at home with yummy food, curl up on a couch and marathon watch.
I liked the movie. It made me want to go back to New York City, and stay there for a while. Twice before I went to NY for work and it was great, just being there made me feel alive. That energy people mention when they talk about NY, it is real.
As far as the movie. I totally agree with the whole wedding hoopla scenario. I have never harbored a dream of that perfect day, with that perfect white dress, and that sparkling diamond ring. I don't think a wedding is necessary to have a committed relationship with somebody. I mean, how many guys do I meet at work with ring on their finger that would cheat on the drop of a hat. A few too many...... But maybe they have an open marriage? I don't know.
I'd rather go on a trip around the world with my guy, explore other countries and make beautiful memories. A diamond ring is just a waste of money and no real indication of true love. Women have been brain washed since a young age to buy into all of this, because it's all about spending, spending, spending.
Having somebody, a partner in life's ups and downs is a beautiful thing. But it is just as important to be happy and fulfilled alone. Alone is not negative. Great friends enrich life. All kinds of things do, like a dog (Chhaya). Finding that special someone is a bonus.
