Blessed

I have always considered myself as someone who is very lucky to have amazing female friends. I remember a conversation I had once with Amber, and I told her even though I have no siblings, God has blessed and given me deep and soulful friendship with many amazing women. Friendship as we know is a balm for the soul. Since I was young, I have always being surrounded by females. Many youth girls lived with me, and folks since I was a little girl in Nigeria. Very high famine energy I assure you. Then moving to NY state, close to the NYC mission, I was once again surrounded by females, this time a lot older than me. These were women, whom had came with their husband to give of their time to others. I was surrounded by women who have such rich life experiences. As I grew older I was able to meet many more wonderful friends. I would start to name names, but I will refrain from doing that. There are friendships that I needed at a certain point in my life. These were people that guided me, and shaped me into part of who I am today. But time to friendship, becomes as water is to fire… these were friendships that when it was time to let it go, I struggled to let it go because, it was part of who I was as a person but in letting it go, I was able to discover parts of myself that I have never seen before. The older I get the more I have come to cherish my friendships. Friendship with people that feels maternal. People that I have come to so deeply cherish. My people.

This writing in a way feels very incomplete because I find it so hard to accept find words that can fully express my thoughts and emotions. But I wrote this for all of the important women in my life…whether we are still close or not. I love you all.

See You later, Abigael
