On one of those rare evenings when I finished my work early ( or just forced myself out of my workplace),all I wanted was to share some coffee and conversations with my girlfriends. It was just one of those days when no one else from my circle of influence would do..No husband,no family, no colleagues...No one! Just like that there are moments when all I'd want is my girlfriends ( Sorry bouys!)
I dont know what it is about sharing experiences and feelings with your closest friends,but it is deeply satisfying,like a boulder is lifted off the shoulders. Its not so much about meeting them everyday and sharing every tiny detail of your life with them,but there are things in your life that can only be expected to be understood by your girlfriends. Like a broken heart, like losing anything or anyone...yes,they do get it better than your husband/partner ,anyone.
Your work frustrations, your mommy woes, your womanly wimps,your mood swings, your bad hair days!
It takes a woman to get another one. Even if fundamentally you may be poles apart in everything ,staying miles away,but that girlfriend of yours will totally get it. If you messed up,she would still understand and not judge you. She would let you cry and still not think that you're a wimp, she'd let you have that one extra drink and forget the next day what an embarrassment you were to her the previous night.
She'd be honest to the point of being brutal,just cause she'd want you to be the best person that even you dont think you can be. Even if you cant be that best ,she would still love you and yes...still be as honest :).
You can have your cat fights with her,but she will still come around eventually, or you go around....either ways.
I know women who continued to stay friends,even after having dated the same man....the man was out of the picture and the women stayed friends! That's the magic of girlfriends. And if you managed to keep some of them from your school days,you 're one of the luckiest women,trust me!
P.S: Some of my male friends are like my girlfriends too...no ,they are not gay,either! :)
