Not That Kind of Girl

If you're looking for someone to shop for overpriced handbags with, and then gossip about the latest celebrity scandal...we can't be friends.

If you're more concerned with your dress size than your ability to positively impact the lives of others, then we probably won't get along.

If you need to call someone at 3am because your boyfriend has cheated on you for the 15th time this year...please lose my number. Trust me, I'll only make you feel worse about sticking with a loser.

See, I believe that friendship is about trust, loyalty, and (most importantly) honesty. Friendship is about helping each other grow in a positive way, and it isn't my job to make you feel better by telling you lies; I'm here to help you be better by showing you the truth in love.


If I value you as a person (and I do), then I owe it to you to be truthful no matter how difficult it might be. And I expect the same from you...friendship is a two-way street.

I'm not suggesting that we should all criticize and berate each other for buying that hideously ugly red dress, or for dating Mr. Yourekiddingme. I'm suggesting that when our friends do epically stupid things (and we all will), we should offer support ...but we should also be a voice of reason if and when we're asked for our opinion.

Friendships should be a safe place for us to be ourselves, to make the stupid mistakes, and to be dorks of the biggest kind. Friendships should be where our hearts are safe and where we can be certain to hear the truth...no matter how difficult it is.

So, if you want the kind of friend who will tell you when you're being a goober, be your cheerleader through the obstacles in life, and will gladly stay up all night with you because you heart is broken...then call me and let's do lunch.

All others need not apply.
