Samantha Jones is a self-assured and self-reliant icon who put the sex in Sex and the City. Samantha has always been a fan favorite, but during the show’s run she was often framed as the most out there one of the bunch – someone you’d want to be friends with but not necessarily be. But looking back, Samantha was right about so many things, even if she got flack for it at the time. And while she certainly wasn’t perfect, she offers a number of important lessons about building the life you want and staying true to yourself no matter what. So let’s take a look back at Samantha’s outlook on life and love and how she was way ahead of the curve.
