Just the Girls

So I met these girls. These girls that I don’t know. I don’t know who they are, where they’re from, or what they do. I do know that they accept me. They don’t care who I am, where I’m from, or what I’ve done.

I’ve never had a good relationship with girls. Girls always judged me, laughed at me, tormented me. Girls are the real evil in the world. Or at least that’s what I thought until I met these girls. They don’t judge, they don’t laugh, they don’t torment. There is only understanding and admiration. They make me feel as though I can be accepted for who I am, as though they will not hurt me. They are my safe place. I can share all and not worry about what they will say or how they react. I can tell them things I have never told my friends, my family, my closest confidant, for they are there for me.

I applied to a job, and I didn’t get it. I was really excited for this job, I though I went above and beyond for qualifications. Turns out I didn’t, there are always more qualified people out there. I told my parents and they told me that I was better off, the job wasn’t suited to me anyways, I needed to find a different job. I told these girls I didn’t get the job and you know what they told me? It’s going to be okay, you’ll get the next one, its their loss. They didn’t tell me I wasn’t qualified or that I shouldn’t have been applying to that job in the first place. They were supportive, kind, and helpful. It may not seem like a lot, but it meant a lot to me. I finally have people in my corner, to understand me, to hype me up when I need it.

In most girl groups there is envy, passive aggression, drama, there is backstabbing, cat fights, and betrayal. With these girls it’s easy, no drama, no betrayal. Just there to talk to if you need someone to listen. These are just the girls I’ve been looking for.
