I have said it before and am happy to say it again – there’s nothing as wonderful as a great girlfriend. My best gal pals are essential in my life, giving me that chance to have a laugh, have girl talk and lean on them when I really need to talk. Without my girls – I don’t know what I’d do. I recently had the chance to catch up with some of my girls during Fat Joe’s birthday celebration and it always feels like no time has passed.
Sometimes talking to a girlfriend is the best medicine when it comes to lost love, deeply personal issues and even when trying to make a big decision. They’re there when you need them the most and sometimes when you don’t even realize how much you need a friend. From the happiest moments in life to the most trying times, your girls will help get you through anything. So what is it that makes them so special? Here’s a look five qualities of great female friends.
5 Qualities of Great Female Friends
#1. They’re super dependable. Your best gal pals may be busy with their own lives and families, but when you need them – they’re there in a heartbeat. No matter if you’re having crisis or you have great news to share, your best girls want to be there when it matters.
#2. There’s no judgement. No matter what your girls love you for who you are – and you’re always in the no judgement zone. They love you just because you’re you – and even if you aren’t 100% on the page, your best girls won’t ever be concerned with anything but what’s best for you.
#3. There’s always forgiveness. No matter what goes down between you – because there’s no way you’re always going to agree – there’s always forgiveness. Your friendships have the ability to withstand even the toughest of times and the worst disagreements. But, you know you don’t have to feel the same about everything, you’re different people – and that’s exactly what makes your friendships great.
#4. Trust is number one. When you’re hanging with your best girlfriends and sharing your deepest personal secrets, you know they’re safe with your girls. Sometimes you need a listening ear who isn’t your partner or your family – and it’s your girls who are the best listeners around.
#5. You laugh together. There’s nothing better than sharing a laugh with your best friend and you both love to catch a giggle over the most ridiculous moments. The best times with your best girls are when you’re rolling on the floor laughing and you’re not even sure why. Having a glass of wine together and just chatting it up is your favorite way to spend a Friday night – and laughing the night away is the best medicine for anything you have on your mind.
There’s nothing like having girlfriends in your life – and I cherish each moment I spend with mine. What’s your favorite quality of your bestie?
