You know what a problem bullying is. You know how vile girls can be toward one another. What you might NOT know is that good girlfriends are THE most important relationships you can have in this life. As you get older and life becomes more challenging, they will be there for you in ways you can’t imagine. Guys give us tingles. Family gives us unconditional love (if we’re lucky.) But good girlfriends fill in all the spaces in between. So stop worrying about fitting in with the popular girls. If they are snots and make you feel like crap YOU ditch THEM and go find the good ones–ones like you.
I say this because I am going through some great-big-huge challenges in my personal life right now and without the love, support, and HILARITY of my friends I would be curled up in the fetal position under a park bench, being pooed on by birds and licked by nocturnal animals.
So pick your friends well. Protect and respect the ones you have. Show up for them. If you do, you will make it through anything, no matter how badly it sucks. Pinky swear.
Thank you my friends. You are the wind beneath my pits.
TTYW,
Lisi

So true Lisi…so true!

You always have the best advice. I wouldn’t know what to do without my best friends in my life.
It’s so true, there is nothing better than having good girlfriends. Family is great and boys are great, but you need to have girls in your life too! I have married friends that I still get together weekly because we just love (need? haha) our girl’s nights. Some of the best memories I have are with them.
Also, I agree that bullying isn’t worth it..I actually wrote a post about it on my blog this week if you want to read it 🙂 http://peach-lemonade.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-bullied.html
And thank you for always writing such positive and inspirational (but not in a cheesy way) posts. You always make me feel better about my life, thanks Lisi!
You don’t know how great your timing is. Thanks for this. I needed it. 🙂
this post came at the right time for me. I am going through some major family issues right now and I am so hurt by it all….I am glad I have one friend who can make me laugh through it all.
I’m so glad to hear you have someone close to you who is helping you through a tough time. I definitely can understand how hard it is going through family issues. Virtual hugs to you across the miles, Massie! xo
