To my favorite ladies,

I’ve never been a “girl’s girl.” Growing up, I was a tomboy and I’ve always been a little rough around the edges. The cattiness and drama I associated with fellow females led me to keep my distance from most girls growing up. I never thought that once I reached my twenties, I’d have such a great group of girls to share my life with.

Thank you for inspiring me with not only with your own ambitions but with your support for each other’s dreams.

We are not in competition with one another. We are sisters and celebrate each other’s success, which only leads to our amazing line-up of strong, incredible women. We are all on different paths in life and we are not battling it out; we're on the same team.

Thank you for friendships that go beyond dressing up, going out and getting drunk.

Don’t get me wrong, I love our wild nights, but life’s all about balance. When we’ve had personal problems from heartbreak to family issues, we’re there for each other.

Thank you for listening and dealing with all of the Mr. Wrongs that I’ve dated.

I know my love life has been a little bit of an entertaining rollercoaster, but thanks for never showing that you’re sick of hearing about it. When you’re dating someone and have close friends, they are kind of dating them too and I know how frustrating it can get. Thanks for being there for it all: the good and the bad.

Thank you for being brutally honest.

Did I say or do something bitchy? Am I being a whiny brat on the night you dragged me out to the bar? Probably. But I thoroughly appreciate you calling me out on my shit instead of going behind my back. This goes for the little things too, like the way our makeup or hair looks. There is no sugarcoated shit coming out of our mouths. Some of us may be more polite about it than others, but we all tell the truth.

Thanks for not letting distance dictate our relationships.

We’ve all got things going on and we might not get to see each other as often as we want, but that has no effect on to the value of our friendships. I’ve never felt like I’m going to be forgotten if I can’t make it to girl’s night and I will definitely not forget any of you while you’re out kicking ass in the world.

Love,

One of the girls
