Girlfriends are like oxygen.....

Without friends I do not know where I would be or who I would be. I am a lucky person in that I have always had good friends in my life. There have always been supportive kind positive people around me - what a blessing. I have never been able to figure out if I attract good people or if good people are attractive to me but I feel like I can read people and tell if they are genuine or not. Genuine people turn me on, always have. If you are fake or not living a real life then we would never be close friends. I may feel sympathy or empathy for you and you would definitely know where I stand with you. But we would not be friends. In my past I have been very judgemental and I am still working on that because I know I have no right to judge others. That is something I will keep working on.
After spending a weekend with my close girlfriends I cannot stop thinking about how important they have been and are in my life. When you can laugh so hard with someone as well as cry with someone while they hugging you then you know you have a good friend. I wish that for everyone. Spending quality time with them was like breathing fresh air. I haven't laughed that hard in years. My ribs were hurting from all the laughing. The snotting and bawling were a stress reliever too but a necessity when sharing stories of the past 20 years.
I do not understand women putting other women down - be supportive and loving and reap the benefits. When you have strong women around you supporting you at every turn, good or bad, it only makes you a stronger woman.
