Do you have those friends where even if you haven’t seen them in a while you can just pick right back up where you left off? Or those friends you always send your Instagram pictures to before you post them? The friends that are your unwritten “bridesmaids” of life?
Empowerment is such a strong umbrella term and especially when it comes to women. It means self confidence, self worth, decision making and just feeling loved by others around you rather than being torn down. When I think of empowering and supportive women for not only myself but for others, I think of some of my best girl friends, who are absolute girl bosses. Whether we see each other everyday or talk here and there, they are still the girls who I can trust to always be there for me and make me feel supported. They are the first ones I go to when I need outfit advice or a good confidence boost. They are the first ones I ask to go out to have a good time, because when were together it is the most fun. And they are also some of the best keepers of my secrets and my shoulders to turn to when I need someone.
It is so important to make sure that we are empowering ourselves with empowering people and that they are the ones we ultimately surround ourselves with. If you are having a bad day, having your girl friends tell you that you look beautiful in that outfit is sure to flip your day around! It is all about perspective and at the end of the day, we should be standing up for our girls, friends or not, instead of tearing them down, and that’s what I love so much about my friends! Not only do they do these things for me but they do it for others and I hope that I empower them as much as they empower me! Be kind to one another!
