Thank Goodness for Girl-Friends

I've been analoging (as Jen calls it, usually I just say writing in my notebook) lately, and I guess don't really have anything new, just the same old same old. I had lunch/afternoon hang out time the other day with two of my girl-friends.

It's been awhile since I've sat down and really had that gossip-y chit-chat session. Usually that doesn't really happen unless I'm drunk, then it becomes me whining and bitching, but strangely enough not really feeling any better about the issues. (and often sending stupid text messages that I shouldn't.)

It was cathartic for me. We spent about 4 and a half hours just talking it out. The thing is, now I feel strangely "talked out". It was like a rinsing of all the built up gunk. I think it shook loose some stuff too. I like that, it's a way to let some things go, making room for other things to get stuck to my head in the little nooks and crannies. (Great, more room for my crazy, that's exactly what everyone needs.)

It was very stimulating for my gray matter. I guess I'm just saying thank god for girl-friends. Yeah, part of this whole taking control of my own happiness business is realizing that I have some pretty awesome girl-friends.

This isn't supposed to turn into some mush/love fest, so I'll just leave it at that. Thanks to all my girls, you know what you've done for me.
