We both learned how to be a friend by watching the women who came before us. Women who taught us that it’s okay to show someone who you really are-that when you stop hiding behind a mask of perfection and protection, you unlock something beautiful…. Our girlfriends weave a luminous thread from the women we are to the women we hope to become, We may never find perfection, but we’ll never be alone.
