wisdom with

To Her

We have been taught from a young age to chase love.

Love from a partner, someone who is going to deliver us from our castle parents.

We are taught, as women to chase love as being the only recipe for success, happiness & building a family.

We are holding on to the idea - thanks to romantic comedies - that love is the cause answer to our problems.

And there is one big lesson of wisdom that heartbreaks have taught me: platonic love is underestimated.

Since a young age and throughout many losses & heartaches, the only thing that has remained constant in my life are my friendships.

I have met a true & unconditional love more than twenty years ago when I was just a teenager.

We grew up around each other. We evolved together. We broke up a few times but always managed to maintain this growing love and admiration for one another.

This person is my sister, the one that my soul has chosen to go through life with.

Today she is the only person that I am sure to have by my side at the end of my life.

We cannot say the same thing about the men in our lives. And that is totally ok.

I have learnt to accept this undeniable truth : romantic love changes. We change.

But sisterhood remains. For better and for worst.

My souls thanks yours for everything that you are.

Love you woman of my life.
