I have moments, not even days, when I think I could live my life without female friends. Moments where I think that I don’t need anything else but my husband and my boys. And moments where I feel so alone that I could scream. My husband is amazing and we have a great marriage. I’m very happy! But, I lack female companionship. I work nearly alone. I am not close with my neighbors. And the girlfriends that I’ve had in the past, we aren’t close and hardly talk. Female friends are difficult to maintain. At least for me. I try to be the friend I want. The one that texts and calls just to say hi or to tell a funny story. The one that wants to get together, have coffee, and talk about the never ending pile of laundry. The friend that you can call when you need a last minute sitter for your kids or pets. But, I can’t seem to find the same quality of friends. Friendships take work, but why am I the one that’s still friendless?
