We can all ask the tough question- why is it so tough to trust girlfriends?
And why is it so hard to make great girlfriends?
Let’s talk about being lonely first!!!
It serves no one.
Loneliness is correlated with poorer mental health, increased health issues, decreased immunity, and even early mortality therefore is more of a reason to share life with your connections which equals friends!
We have all sorts of people who come in and out of our lives who we term ‘friends’; acquaintances, soccer moms and dads, co-workers, service people, wait staff, managers, social media followers, classmates, etc. But what we yearn for are true friends. What we desire are people we can count on. Friends who enjoy us and understand us. Humans who create networks of love, caring, and understanding. People who will stand by our sides when things get tough.
Companions who’ll both laugh and cry with us. Friends who will stand the test of time.
Human connection is vital. We rely on each other for identity, belonging, acceptance, love & so much more. Without real connection, we cannot thrive. I’m recognizing that close relationships, more than money or fame, are what keep people happy throughout their lives. Those ties protect people from life’s discontents, help to delay mental & physical decline!
Discovering, creating, & maintaining deep connections to others is serious business. Close friendships & partnerships provide numerous benefits. With others, we find fun, happiness, understanding, laughter, compassion, challenge, encouragement, affection, and love. When we are deeply connected to others, our moods, health, and lives are improved!
Just because we have been hurt in our past!
Just because we have shared discomfort in relationships does not mean we will never be able to know what connection of great health truly is! Instead it will be more reason why we will find our “Golden Girls” because we deserve them in our lives!
