There were moments in my adult life where I thought I would have a Girl Gang. As it turns out, I only have one true-true bestie and we've known each other for over 30 years. And after all this time, I guess that's all I really need because she knows me better than my own sister. Apparently for me, the universe feels I only need just a Girl. LOL And I'm perfectly fine with that.
I have a guy friend that's been my true-true bestie since we were kids. Out of both of them, I've known him the longest (he was my Bridesman when I got married oh so many centuries ago LOL). BUT.... since the topic was about the ladies.. My Friend Circle isn't so much a circle, but rather a triangle. LOL
This got me realizing how finding true sisterhood is such a core desire of mine but also appreciating the relationships in me life that bring me this feeling. I grew up with only boys around me, although my aunt and my mother were the primary adult figures. I’ve always deeply craved that sister like bond and to be held and seen in that way
I am so grateful that you resonated with this piece! Thank you so much for checking it out! I see ppl mentioning how difficult it can be as an adult to build relationships but I wholeheartedly believe we meet / connect with the people who are supposed to be in our lives at the right moment, timing!
Community care has always remained my why in everything, but when it comes from another Black Woman it feels deep, ancestral, and intentional. This read was right on time as I have been examining my friendship spaces and how deep and kindred that is. Thank you for this lovely, because even through the tears, the joy is permanent ! 🫶🏾
Whewwww, “deep, ancestral, and intentional” you are so spot on!! That’s exactly how I feel about sisterhood! Thank you so much for checking this piece out! I appreciate your support, always!💖
Ooh, yesss!!! LOVED this article! I don’t have many friends {lots of associates, though}, but the ones I have, I cherish. I can honestly say my life is better for having known them. Those kinds of friendships are so important! We must nurture them always! ♥️
This had be feeling all sorts of things and I ended cheesing at my phone. I recently went through the end of a close relationship because I worked to be honest and they weren’t used to having that in their friendships (they grew up with lots of white people lol). This was very validating to read in post of that.

Yes!!! I love that so much! Sometimes just one or very few solid, genuine besties is all we truly need.
