Being a girl’s girl is a mindset and a lifestyle. And nobody does it better than a girl. A girl will support her fellow girls through thick and thin, she will empower you to be the best version of yourself and she will always be there for you when you need her. Nothing is more emotionally enriching, empowering and supportive than being friends with a girl. They treat your Instagram like a fan page, comment on your posts and hyping you in a way nobody else could. They make inside jokes with you and never get tired of laughing about the same situation repeatedly. They know all your most embarrassing secrets, and you know all of theirs. One of the most fulfilling experiences to have as a girl is to be friends with another girl.
Friendships with girls are caring and emotional. This is not to say that guys aren’t capable of being vulnerable and mature because they are. But girls have a way of expressing their feelings with one another that just makes sense to us. We might not always say exactly what we mean, but a girl will get it. A true friend will see through all of the tears and deflection and know that you don’t feel okay; they will try anything to make it better. You can be vulnerable with a girl, and she will take everything you need to say and support you. Boys tend to have more surface level friendships. They don’t really get into the nitty gritty of your situation, but they’ll hope that you feel better. Girl’s are most likely to be vulnerable with another girl because they realize that they have an increased chance of having their emotions
If you’re in a tough spot, your friend will be right by your side: holding your hand or supporting you in any way you need. No matter what your background, many girls go through the same experiences, just different places and times. Because of this, they can understand better than anyone what your situation is. They’ll understand that sometimes you don’t need a solution, you just need a shoulder to cry on.
Your girlfriends will remember the little things. They remember your birthday, your middle name, the day you got dumped and every single code name you made up for the people on your roster. They’ll buy you gifts and celebrate you like you’ve never been celebrated before. It’s basically girl code. If you make a birthday post, I guarantee you’ll have your girl friends flooding the comments with compliments like “SLAYED THE HOUSE DOWN,” or ”GORGEOUS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.” These types of comments can make you feel so loved and appreciated, but this isn’t limited to social media. In public, a girl is never afraid to hype up her best friend, shower her with compliments and tell her that she “ate” with those jeans.
She’ll support you unconditionally, even if you were wrong. They’ll support your delusional moments and tell you “OMG HE HELD THE DOOR FOR YOU? HE WANTS YOU SO BAD,” even if we both know that he was just being nice. And when that guy eventually gets a girlfriend, your friend will be right there with you saying that she cannot believe that he did that to you, even when nothing was going on in the first place.
Being friends with a girl can be one of the most supportive, emotionally enriching and exciting experiences of your life. So in conclusion, go out, meet a girl, be her friend and experience this for yourself.
