the beauty of female friendships

i think the one thing i yearn for is a valuable, genuine, and authentic friendship with women. all my life i’ve been friends with girls but i have only once felt a genuine connection with a friend of mine back in the 3rd grade. now unfortunately, we are no longer friends due to her completely changing herself for others but i often look back at our friendship and yearn for a friendship like that. we were the bestest of friends and i have never felt like that with any other friendship. i think friendships where you feel so free and loved is something i yearn for.

i think the beauty of friendship isn’t taking pictures, or hangout out daily, or being constantly in touch. it’s knowing how valuable you are to each other and having so much admiration and appreciation for each other. it’s the once in a while sleepovers where you catch up and talk about new things going on. it’s the treating each other as if we were true sisters and feeling such an irreplaceable bond.

i yearn for friendships like that more than relationships with men. i of course would love to get married and have my own family, but friendships with females is where the heart is actually at.

friendships are so valuable.💗

That is so true. It takes a woman to truly understand another woman. And a look can say as much as 100 words. You can fully rely on someone that understands you rather than on someone that you have to explain a million times.

The problem is that 2 girls/women seeming close will automatically be misinterpreted by society.

@Stephie Exactly!! I wish it wasn’t like that thooo

@summalovin I personally blame the brain washing that some social media have on younger generations and the availability of visuals that mislead people into believing that 2 people of the same gender have to have something going on between them.

It's like that in the community where I live. We had a sisterhood at school (or sorority, as it is known in the US) and we live by it after we leave school. It's been like that since before I was born.

Women are conditioned/wired for being social, making/having friends with a tight 'circle' of close friends, etc.

Men aren't. I can do friends at all, and have none. Probably a large part is trust - I find it very difficult to be vulnerable (in relationships or not), and trusting anyone who might be close to me is nearly impossible. I might never get past that.
