Let’s not pretend like we don’t know that this weekend is an emotional freaking atom bomb. If you’re in a relationship: this is the weekend of wild joy or brutal disappointment. During the various loves of my life, I’ve experienced both.
If you’re not in a relationship: this is the weekend of wondering. Why am I alone? Is it OK that I’m alone? When will I meet someone new? During the various chapters of my life, I’ve wondered all these things too.
But you know what I never wonder about? I never wonder about how much my girlfriends love me. I never wonder about how much I love them. I never wonder about how thankful I am that they are in my life. And I certainly never experience brutal disappointment at their hands. The women in my life make me feel like I can achieve anything. They fill my heart. And you know what? I’m fairly confident they have a role to play in my life until… well, until we die.
That’s why this Valentine’s Day, I’m having brunch with some of my favorite gal pals. Because mimosas are a beautiful thing, but friendship is even more beautiful.
Or as Leslie Knope would say: “If there’s a law against friendship, then lock me up!” So Happy Galentine’s Day to you too.
