Let's Have Girl Talk !

There's nothing like lounging around after a long day having a nice chat with a friend of yours while being accompanied by an open bottle of wine having some girl talk. 

We all have besties we run to when we need to vent or just laugh with sometimes. I don't know about you guys but I love my friends I really enjoy hanging out with them, being able to open up and be comfortable just talking about anything. I call it the "Judge Free Zone" because these ladies cast no judgement! We have all been through the ringer when it comes to relationships or generally just dealing with certain situations in our lives.  

I appreciate the open mindedness that these ladies share. I say that because there's been some real tea that has been spilled throughout the years and not once have I ever had to question their ability of keeping things within the circle. You know how that saying goes whatever happens in the house stays within in the house! I know that's a family rule but this goes for my friends as well. Y'all know that's the number one rule for GIRL CODE keeping things within the circle! But, let's get back to the point of this article; "Girl Talk". If you're wondering what I mean when I say girl talk I mean more then just spilling tea and gossiping about that he said she said bull crap! Girl talk meaning more of venting about what's on your mind, goals and  aspirations; those type of things. It's giving more of Ted talks most days!

Now lord knows I don't have many girlfriends but for the ones I do have; they know who they are! I am very grateful that god has allowed me to have such a connection with these beautiful ladies, cut from all different clothes. You never really notice the importance of having those type of friendships until they become non existent. So, I cherish those who are in my corner because even though I stand strong most days I need them to keep me from falling. 

Don't get me wrong not every conversation has to be deep and serious I just I prefer to be real sometimes and if we're always talking about what everyone else has going on then what are we really talking about? We live in a world where everyone loves gossip and in a way that's how a lot of us stay connected. I feel like there is more to the term Girl Talk then just gossip you know create an open space that gives opportunity for growth, healing, and women empowerment. I've seen so many podcasts of women who come from all over sit and talk about various topics like their own personally struggles they face daily, building a legacy for themselves, trying to elevate their lives while also giving advice to other women who need it.

Frankly we need more of that; being comfortable to express ourselves within a group of women without judgement or secret animosity.  Having a community of women who genuinely want to see other women succeed and be happy is something this generation lacks. But "to each their own" we all have different opinions on friendships and how the play a part in our lives. But, to plead my case friendship is inevitable, eventually we always meet someone who becomes our person. We need more of leaning on each other for support and motivation. Our support is so much more than just the family we were born into, no shade just stating facts. 

So with that being said I'd like to encourage us women to engage more in "Girl Talk" dig deep and have a real conversation with our ladies. We have to strive to become better , and want more out of life. As they say we only have one life why not live it to the fullest; be all that we can be and then some. We have to surround our selves with women who internally want the same things as we do. If not then ideally we'll become the sum of who we surround ourselves with.
