To the girls...

“All my girls stand in a circle and clap your hand… this is for you”

It's funny how many emotions a song can spark off! Through my 14-15 years in school, my 3 years of BA in Sophia's and my masters in Manchester, I've had the opportunity of meeting some of the most amazing women, women I proudly call my girl friends. These are the women who’ve changed my life in some way or the other, touched my life and made me a better person. They’re smart, funny and confident and they were there to hold me and help me up when I fell, to support me when I thought I stood alone, to scold me when I was stupid, to tease me, to bug me, to listen to me rant endlessly and rant to me forever, and hug and tell me it will be ok when I thought I had hit rock bottom.

So this is for all my girlfriends as a thank you for being such an important part of my life. All I really want to say is you all are exceptional women. I don’t think anyone can ever question who you all are or what decisions you’ve taken. Everyone will have an opinion about a situation but you were the one dealing with it and you have handled it to the best of your ability and no one should be able to tell you otherwise. You are who you are and you cannot be pleasing the world, it’s all right to let yourself come first sometimes and those who know and love you will understand this. Those who don’t understand this maybe aren’t worth your efforts anyway and in the end they’ll learn to live with it, even if they don’t agree with it. There isn't much option is there? :)

In the past few years I've seen a lot of my girlfriends question themselves, their abilities because someone else didn’t see how brilliant they were and it broke my heart to see that because I wish they’d see how brilliant I think they are. I hope I've at least managed to let some of them know how I feel today. So to all my girlfriends, we may have had our differences, we may have totally frustrated each other at some points in our life but one thing that won't change is that you will always be special to me because you really are…

Love you all
Loads of hugs and kisses.
