Guess what? You are probably turning into a Miranda…

That’s right. Back when you started watching Sex and the City (if you were born in 1990s like I am, then you are almost in your 30s and trying to adult hard!), most people would relate to the character of Carrie or Samantha and could never imagine themselves as a Miranda or even a Charlotte. But somewhere along the line of graduating university and starting your first job and then your second job that reality began to shift.

It started off from retiring from a Samantha, the hot headed, sexual and very energetic diva, into a Carrie. You then found the father of your children, like how Carrie found Mr. Big, and you are shifting into a Miranda or a Charlotte. If you started off as a Carrie but didn’t end up finding the man of your dreams, you might experiment in a life of Samantha for some time. But one way or another somehow, like black magic (although magical and sweet at some point) you turn into a Miranda.

Why Miranda and not a Charlotte? Because its 2018! Some of us can’t afford or chooses not to be a Charlotte. The loving wife and mother who spends her time taking care of her children and husband is honestly a privilege job because unlike those who can afford it, many of the young girls turning into adults and stepping into motherhood find themselves as a Miranda. A working mom, who is the bread maker of the family. She cannot afford to be a stay at home mom. It is not a bad thing though. For the first time in a long time, women have the confidence to stay at work after having children and be the main support for the family. Or, in another scenario you become a mix of Miranda and Charlotte. A mom who works from home to help hustle while taking care of the children… Man that already sounds exhausting. Gotta give it up to mothers out there!

All in all, there’s nothing wrong about being a Miranda or a Charlotte, unlike how I felt when I was younger, but that is because I couldn’t relate to them until I was ready to imagine a life with kids and work and family obligations. This only proves to you out there who started to relate more to Miranda and Charlotte now that you are on another phase of your life as a mother or a working mother.

Life is full of surprises and as you grow, you will even surprise yourself of how far you’ve come. You are doing a great job!
