It’s been 12 years since Sex and the City went off the air, and yet we still quote the show at least a few times per day. What made Carrie Bradshaw brilliant was the way she teetered her quietly feminist views on top of four-inch heels, while what made her unforgettable was her refreshingly hopeless romanticism, which continues to inspire us through times that try our own belief in love. While not every scenario our beloved heroine engaged in felt realistic—since when can columnists afford thousands of dollars of designer shoes and clothing?—the show did have many moments in which Carrie was just so us. In honor of Sarah Jessica Parker’s birthday today, we’ve compiled ten of those timeless situation where Carrie Bradshaw’s travails felt oh-so-familiar.
