While the opposite (perhaps maybe similar) gender thinks having too much girlfriends can contribute to an apocalypse, I sometimes mildly think that this may be true. Us women, we naturally love talking, not necessarily listening. And we cannot help it. We just like listening (or even contributing) to gossip. Its not that we do not have anything else to talk about, we just chose to talk about it. Who the fu*k cares?
Though I definitely do not stand by mocking or bringing down other women, but holy sh*t its addictive just listening to conversations when a woman starts talking. The typical “I do not want to be mean but..” “Did you hear about… maybe she should tell you but.. *discloses anyway” just does the trick to get everyone’s attention, at least mine 70% of the time. The worst, I know. But I believe you when you tell me you give zero bullshit about everyone else’s lives but you cannot help but listen. It’s like crack, its addictive. Nope, never had crack but I kind of can imagine.
Its amusing almost. I am not afraid to say that this age of feminism has been quite the saga. One point I am on board and the next I am over it because everyone has different belief of feminism, that we all seem to just be “lost”.
I learned the meaning of sisterhood through my experiences with none other than my grandmother, my mother, her sisters and my girlfriends. All the TMI Tuesdays, being kind, giving love, staying passionate, embracing change, be forgiving are all attained from these women.
A night out for my sisterhood would look like this: Slipping on a pair of good jeans or a dress, a good brow, dancing, lots of dancing and taking silly videos. We would eat lots of cake until we regret getting that much of cake. Some nights we would stay in and watch horror movies. Talk about acne and men endlessly over sushi. Some days are spent texting or crying over the phone for absolutely something that is not even that deep.
A lot of my characters are a reflection of the women that I surround myself with. My girlfriends and I are so different from each other. Yet we have been united. Kind of how sisterhood should be. What say you babes?
Until then..
