i get by with a little help from my friends

It's the New Year and so far it's off to a good start.

I'm in the middle of a promotion at work and I finally met a group of girlfriends in Nashville. My phone now rings with plans to go out drinking/dancing, comedy nights at Zanies, and chill nights to watch movies and play Wii. And most importantly, it's comfortable. It's not awkward and uncomfortable the way newly forming friendships usually are. It feels real. 

I needed a slew of girlfriends to be able to call up when I need to get out of the house. But also, I need girls that I can trust. That are fun. That are not completely and annoyingly obsessed with guys. Of course guys are going to be a big topic, but it doesn't have to be the only one or even the main one . And it's nice that these girls can go out to the bar and not thrive off the attention they get from boys. They get it, but they don't particularly care. They're all single (with the exception of 1 but they have an amazingly honest and trusting relationship so I don't have to deal with that drama) and they don't need or want guys in their life right now. And that's where I'm at and it's so refreshing to be able to relate to each other in that way.
