sisterhood is a wonderful thing. it's support, self-esteem boosting, sacrificing, silliness and strength. i love my sisters! i wasn't born with any sisters. i have two brothers. but in college, i met the girls who feel like sisters to me. we are so netted together that sometimes i don't remember life before i met them. and trust i couldn't imagine going through one single day of the rest of my life without them. they are my rock.
we are there for each other. we bare each others burdens. we laugh and cry together. we celebrate each others successes and encourage each other through failures. they are my cheerleaders and my correctors. they can call me out when my stuff stinks and still shoot the breeze with me after. i have mad love for them.
we often talk about the circumstances that brought us together back in 1997 when we were all freshman at drake university. five black girls, trying to find their place in the world, all different, all strong but all drawn to each other. it's been a decade since we graduated and left that microcosm but we haven't missed a step. though we are separated by thousands of miles, we have never been closer in spirit. it's pretty much a miracle. people say women can't maintain strong, healthy friendships and yet we have. i treasure what i have with my sisters and can't wait for us to be in the same space again with each other.
