Give your friends A-list lovin’; for they often outlast that cast of B-list lovers…

A friend of mine posted this little jewel on Facebook a while ago and I was definitely enamored of it. You see, I have some A-list friends…this is one hard truth. They are the ride or die type. BFFs. Sisters. You can call them by all of these titles and then some.

Yesterday the guy I had been dating said “let’s just be friends” and I literally Laughed Out Loud. LOL. I said sure…he had not been anything serious, it was really all about me learning to find myself again as a woman…what I liked, what I was comfortable with and so forth.

And as I ended that conversation with him I knew he was confident that we were entering “into a new phase”…quote, unquote…lol. Poor man does not realize that my friends hold me up, they hold me down, they are ALWAYS available, they never hang up on me, they never lie to me and they my people, my Ubuntu.

He has nothing on them and cannot begin to fathom the level of love I have in my friendships and how unselfishly I love and am loved. I thought to myself about him…Time to Stop. All the way.

How exciting to begin to find my way…to start to tread on the stepping stones…to get back into the game of love and life and adulthood. It’s wonderful to know that I have survived from the hurt my marriage had left me with, that my soul and my dignity are in tact and that I have emerged like the phoenix from the flames. And that as I am blooming, I affirm that I love myself so fiercely. It is a good place to be in. A very good place.
