Surround yourself with the right people
“The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don’t. But, in the end, they’re the people you always come home to. Sometimes it’s the family you’re born into and sometimes it’s the one you make for yourself.” – Carrie

If things aren’t going your way, don’t give up
“He has one ball, and I have a lazy ovary! In what twisted world does that create a baby? It’s like the Special Olympics of conception.” – Miranda
Screw the rules, do what you makes you happy
“When men attempt bold gestures, generally it’s considered romantic. When women do it, it’s often considered desperate or psycho.’ – Carrie
If you want to buy the shoes – buy the shoes!
“The fact is, sometimes it’s really hard to walk in a single woman’s shoes. That’s why we need really special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun’. – Carrie
But don’t forget to save for a rainy day

Embrace your single fabulous self!

Ladies, go easy on your bridesmaids

Stay true to yourself

Know when to stand your ground

Friends are forever
