Well, I’ve never had any regrets about what I’ve done, although there are some things I look back at and think are pretty dumb. I’d say Lucinda’s spell helped me stop worrying about how others saw me. Because even though I knew what I was about, I also knew that other people didn’t, and it used to bother me that people might remember me and think ill of me. But now, I really don’t care about what people from my past think (or if they think of me at all.)
As far as the Sex and the City episode, I’ve made great leaps and strides since then because I’ve realized that in order for me to be happy I have to be ME. Not what I think other people want me to be, or what would make my parents happy, or what would make my boyfriend happy. I’ve started exercising and getting back in shape, I dyed my hair cherry-red and I love it, I bought myself some clothes I really like. I’ve been seeking out what makes me happy. I’ve been going to festivals and shows and the farmer’s market and whereever else I feel like going regardless of whether I can find someone to go with me. I’ve stopped depending on others. I’m not sure if it’s the TV show that did it, but I look back on how I was feeling then and I feel much better about my life now.
