Of true women friends …

There are women who will make your life miserable if you allow them to.

There are women who will go behind your back to report/bitch talk/yap/gossip/hate on you,

There are also women who want what you have: your job, your confidence, your peace and joy - and your husband!

There are those who will look at you from head to toe and find a fault to pick on.

Then there are those who want to be you (not realizing that you have your own insecurities).

There are those who want to know where you shop just so they can rate your class and how far up the ladder they are.

Then of course, there are those who secretly want your boyfriend or husband.One truth in life is that even if drawn together by the same faith, community or interests, not every woman can be your true friend.

A true friend would never compete with you. In fact, when life beats you up so hard that you can't dream, she dreams for you.

When you can't afford a trip out of town, she pays for your ticket. If you introduce her to a male friend, she will ask you a hundred times if you like the guy before she shows any interest.

She would never date your ex because when he became a jerk to you, he might as well have become a jerk to her as well, never mind who was at fault. I have found that it is necessary to find female friends (and become one as well) with whom you connect deeply.

Women who are confident in who they are without being arrogant.

Women who know that there is more to life than who is dating who and who bought what from where.

Today, tell all your TRUE female friends that your world would be less without them.

Friendship

is a promise spoken by heart. It is not given by a pledge, neither is it written on a paper.

It is a promise renewed every time friends keep in touch.
