Here is Mikal's rendition of Carrie Bradshaw's "Sex and the City" column.
This one's titled... "Immaturity"
We all look back on ourselves, a year ago, and wonder... did I really think those shoes went with that dress? Or rather, "Did I really love them?". At the end of the year all these types of questions come up. We finally notice all the bad decisions we've made, while everyone else knew all along. That's the magic of the new year. There's a fresh start and the promise of new life waiting. Sometimes we can't bare the wait. Sometimes the wait is what keeps us going, and sometimes the wait is something we dread. And it's okay that we made mistakes, because we acknowledge them, and from there we can move on. Or can we...

But in fact, we should be focusing on not making those mistakes again, learn from the love we get, and have a better year. The problem with love is our heart is focusing on making those mistakes again with a different person, but we are too blind to see it until it's gone, and that is the immaturity of love.
