How to Supplemental : SATC 'BIG &'

 Side note: I'd be lying if I said this wasn't written from a very dramatic place of victim-hood. And while that's not exactly my best look, I have to say, it's still one of my favorite posts. After all, sometimes the best stories come from the saddest moments.

How to Supplement : SATC 'BIG &' 

Pick me? Or better yet...

"...Why not me?"

As an average-looking girl (an 'everywoman') in America, I related so much to Carrie because every romance felt like that, like BIG. Even at the end of the casual '007' romance I was chosen over someone else, ( but not something, yet anyway ) and that's what makes love so hard is the ask in the end, the 'Will it be me?' after all the flaws and the screw ups, saying the wrong things and not doing the right things; 'Will it still be me? ' It feels—and hopefully in the future "felt"—like maybe not.

My 'Mr.BIG' told me he had a girlfriend, and after 'waiting for him to come from Paris' he broke up with her and then, afterwards promptly dated! ...Someone else, luckily me and Carrie both had someone to talk us off of a cliff when we saw the girl, but unlike BIG's other half Natasha, she wasn't a show stopping beauty or a model ( I could throw in a list of things that would make her a better match for him, but I’m going to skip that. ) And when girls explain that situation—how we should be with him—we're expected to be embarrassed and suddenly of our 'Why her?'-s and 'Why not, me?'-s get misconstrued into shallowness and 'Pick me!'-s.

But by far the most Humiliating thing about girls and women like me, the 'Carrie type', --masochism or not-- is that if I really think about it; if my 'BIG' turned to me and said the perfect thing, despite everything, my heart would still murmurer at his words and he'd be my one and only. Just like that. But 'BIG' never really does, and so; the ' Carrie type' is forced to watch the happy couple and Imagine for a fraction of a second what it would've been like to be in his arms or the smell of the calla lilies with a red ribbon, and at the end of the day when the 'Carrie types' are star crossed with 'BIG &' no matter what comes after it, sometimes, we have no choice but to hang our heads and cry, as the music, fades us out.
