This is my Galentine’s Day* letter.
Dedicated to all of my precious and courageous girlfriends who feed me by simply being.
Happy Galentine’s Day
For each wine-filled eve of secrets and tears.
For every hug of encouragement and squeal of delight.
For countless words spoken with integrity and grace.
For the silent prayers I’ve felt when nursing a fragile heart.
For every dance floor we’ve waxed with ecstatic delight.
For the many scenes we’ve caused and messes we’ve made.
For the nights we stayed up whispering until our eyelids got too heavy.
For the tenderness of your gaze when I am most vulnerable.
For always knowing exactly what I need to hear (whether or not I want to hear it).
For blazing trails of inspiration and chutzpah.
For having my back even when I don’t.
For calling and writing.
For loving me with fire and water and air and earth.
Yes, I will always value romantic partnerships but you, my earth guides, are the loves of my life.
I would give you my heart but you would never take it.
So I will offer you this:
My unconditional love. My ear. My arms.
My unwavering belief in the majesty of you.
Forever and ever. Amen.
*Galentine’s Day(the day before Valentine’s Day) comes from NBC’s Primetime show: Parks and Recreation. Where the major female friendship puts stereotypes of cattiness and backstabbing to shame. Thank you, Amy Poehler and team for continuing to bring to television the kind of female friendships I can actually relate to.
