ODE TO SISTERHOOD
Sometime between the transitions of the sun and the moon, you meet someone. You can’t imagine a time when there was a "you" without a "them"—how was life even life before? You choose each other. You become their comfort, their light, their calm. Your existence is their peace, their safe space—a bond unlike any other.
Now, picture that connection, not just with one person, but with a solid core. A tribe of soulmates, bound by trust, warmth, and understanding. That’s true friendship.
Not just any friend―they’re the ones whom you draw strength and humanity from. There are the people whose names are woven into the fabric of your heart. They are not just home, but a nest for healing wounds, a warm cottage in the middle of a storm. They remind you what it means to be so full of love that it overflows, touching and inspiring everyone around you.
Not just any friend―they are the ones who never let you give up on your dreams. They never look down on you but instead cry with you through your pain, sit with you through your struggles, and ensure you never face anything alone.
Not just any friend―they are the ones who truly get you, always offering the most genuine advice. They tell it like it is, even when it’s not what you want to hear.
Not just any friend―they are the ones who always have your best interests at heart. They are your greatest allies, with bonds that have stood the test of time.
Not just any friend―they’re your shoulder to cry on, your late-night phone call. The ones you turn to when you need to share your irrational fears, knowing there’s no judgment. They accept every side of you: your strengths, your flaws, and every choice you’ve ever made, good or bad.
Not just any friend―they’re the ones who finish your sentences, the yin to your yang. You may have your differences, but at your core, you share the same fire. They know your every quirk and exactly what you’d order for takeout.
Not just any friend―they’re the ones who stand by you for life. The people you can count on when your world is caving in. They never hesitate to show support, even when it means giving you the tough love you need.
Sisterhood is everything: the storm, the hail, the avalanche, and the sunshine. It’s the tree that shelters and the river that cleanses. A precious gift from the universe, made even more beautiful when shared with women who are just as invested in you as you are in them.
This women’s month, take this chance to appreciate your real-life sisters or your sisters from another mother. Sometimes, we take our sisters for granted. Surprise them with a random thoughtful gift. Take them out for a girls-only date. Text them, call them or give them a hug. Whatever you decide to do, show them they matter and that your sisterhood is for keeps.
