For Female Friends and Readers

Men and women are vastly different creatures. There are many books that explain this, and there's many people who will gladly swear to the fact from experience. At this moment, I have a strong desire to thank you for being in my life. You are all amazing, and unique. Each and every one of you offer a different perspective, and are willing to share your experiences to some degree with others. Your willingness to do this helps to keep the group as a whole strong.

“There are women who make things better... simply by showing up. There are women who make things happen. There are women who make their way. There are women who make a difference. And women who make us smile. There are women of wit and wisdom who- through strength and courage- make it through. There are women who change the world everyday... Women like you.”
― Ashley Rice

In Life we meet many people. They come and go and flit through our lives sometimes like shadows on the wall, or like butterflies with a brilliant flash of color.  They walk in and teach us something, or are a shoulder for us to lean on when we feel like our strength is too far gone to stand on our own. I know that at times it is hard to believe, but we all have moments when we've needed someone. And fortunately, guys don't be offended, it's our sisters of the heart that usually help fill the void.

Sisters of the heart, are those women that we meet that truly seem to understand what we are, where we've been, and where we are going. They accept us for who and what we are. They're not afraid to tell us that our ass looks huge in the latex pants, or that our wiggles and jiggles are too surreal. Sometimes in second life we just need that reminder that there are people around besides ourselves. After all, who really wants to walk around looking like a derp?

One other thought I'd like to mention is that even men realize how valuable a woman is. Sometimes they don't realize it until it's too late. And there are some who feel so daunted by the number of things that you can accomplish, they will try to squash you and make you feel as though you cannot do anything. NEVER ever believe that. We are all strong, we are all human, and we all have an amazing amount of talents to access in our journey.

Mhm, he got that one right. Don't get me wrong though, I love a nice mannered man as well as the next girl does. But experience in SL has shown me that it is often only my girl friends who will be left standing by me if something goes wrong.
