Girlfriends

We think we’re obsessed with boys because of patriarchy, but deep down, we all know our female friendships mean even more.

I can measure the seasons of my life with the friends that have come and went. Friends who have seen my world and I’ve seen theirs. It’s a better mirror for my relationship with myself at that time than the boyfriends I had. It’s actually so much easier to break up with a boyfriend than to decide if I should end a friendship. I’m proud of them. I hope they learned something. I hope they graduate. I move ahead because that’s who I am, because I can’t hold their hands through the hard parts anymore.
