There's an old adage that says..."Friends are God's way of apologizing for our family." Well that adage has manifested itself into a truth in my life. My friends are more than associates, colleagues, and companions...they're in a category somewhere between sister and gang member. I don't know if that makes any since, but the depth of our bond is undefinable. Now, I don't know if I can say we could give Cleo, Frankie, Stony & TT a run for their money. Nah...we don't have the "Set It Off" type of relationship. But we do have this supportive love that builds a wall or breaks down one if either one of us in a crisis.
I am a person that had to do a lot of growing in my relationships with women. I grew up in an area that didn't really honor the "sisterhood" and as I entered college I learned that my ignorances about women were purely myths and untrue. So...after several years, and yes, I've lost a few to the game of experience, I can say that all of my friends are truly as genuine and real as it gets. Our unconditional love for one another, in the midst of our own hang-ups and idiosyncracies, is insurmountable and ever-lasting. We're a bunch of real life Bratz dolls, minus the collagen lips and 20-inch weaves. We're connected, multi-talented, and resourceful to one another. We own homes, we're wonderful mothers, we have amazing talents, we're social butterflies, and we've got a "passion for fashion"! Nonetheless, in the words of Lil' Kim, "this ain't no lesbo flow"...my girls...all of us, undeniably, love us some good old XY chromosomes! But when he's moved on, or he's slacking in the love department, or if he's just being a complete a$$hole...we know how to step in, hold a hand, or shake the sugar-honey-ice-tea out of one another!
This blog is my salute to all "girlfriends"...within the four corners of this eco-challenged Earth. You are wonderful and amazing beings. Sometimes the world has a way of disrespecting and dishonoring our plight in this world. But I want you to know, that regardless of the day, the hour or the minute, we are a powerful force and without each other, we would not be half the woman we are today!
BFF!
