RELATIONSHIPS

This weekend some friends and i got together. Before the meeting, we had all been feeling pretty depressed. I had been alone in my room for the past week with twitter and calls from home as company. Of course my friends and I try to see each other as much as possible, but we live poles apart and sometimes it is hard to even set up a lunch date we are just so 'busy.'

So this weekend, Friday to be exact, i get a call from my girl, its about 2pm and already i'm in bed :(. she comes down to 'save' me and before i can even say anything, she calls this our 'cheer up session.' she too needed 'saving.' within a few hours, our other friend joins us, and the mission for junk food begins:) 

We spent the whole weekend together, being loud and girly, stupid and crazy and singing along to some of our favourite jams ---> To cut a long story short, we had a great time --> WITH EACH OTHER!!

What is  the moral of the story?

As women of this age, we get so 'busy.' It is so easy to wrap ourselves up in our own projects and forget what matters. We have goals, dreams and work, be it school work or work in the 'real' world. we fall into the new age 'Powerful Woman' pressure and try to be independent beyond our means. It is great to be independent, to feel like we need no one and can exist on our own. But far greater, is being with those who matter to us, having those people who will come running just because of the tone of your voice. It becomes so easy to forget about these people, but after this weekend, my advice to myself, is to as much as I nurture my books, to also nurture my relationships...
