I've always been a people watcher , rather than actually participating . I prefer to sit back and take it all in . . . quietly .
The same goes for my friendships . Few people can actually say that they truly know me . I only tell people what I want them to hear and that usually satisfies them and me .
My friendships vary from friend to friend , depending on the level we are at and the experiences we have shared . I do not categorize my relationships into groups of " bff 's " or " acquaintances " . Each friend brings an uniqueness that I need in my life . They all provide a slice that completes my whole pie .
I have a friend to have coffee with and another to crochet .
One for visiting lectures , shows and another a traveling companion .
Some are great for wiping away tears and others for encouraging hugs .
A friend to call when in need and one who sits beside me during chemo .
I have a friend who is a rock to lean on and one who actually leans on me .
There are discussions and debates on politics , marriage and even sex . It's a good thing I have a variety of women in my life to share and experience all of these topics .
I don't need any bff's or besties to bare my deepest thoughts to . I want real women , from all walks of life who have experienced life , both the good and the awful .
As Erma Bombeck best said when asked on advice she can offer a newlywed young girl marriage :
Find yourself many girlfriends .
Have a Blessed day everyone .
