“To be in a couple, do you have to put your single self on a shelf?”- Carrie, Sex and The City
To live carefree, you want love, but you do not want to lose who you are, this thought rational keeps you from settling down. This is what defines you as The Carrie. There is nothing wrong with living a carefree life. In fact putting fun into your life is a very positive thing to do. To worry about losing one’s identity by committing, that is the problem. No one can take away who you are, unless you allow them to. Life in a relationship is about compromises. The art the compromise is do not just settle just to be down with an issue. It also doesn’t be so stubborn that you will not even consider the other side. Balance is important in compromising. Eventually, Carrie did learn this and she did land her Mr. Big and became his wife.
