Friendships mystery

" Our hearts are mutual victims laid,

While they( such powerful in friendship lies)

Are altars, priests, and off'rings made:

and each heart which thus kindly dies,

Grows deathless by the sacrifice."

- Katherine Philips

What is friendship between women and why is it so highly prised?

Well I think because we are such complex gender true friendship between women is hard to find. you might have a friend to go shopping with, or a friend you talk to about you kids, and one to talk to about you boyfriend, and a friend to talk to about school, and one you invite over for diner. but it comes to a certain point where there can't be just one friend for everything because we're all so different. We need different friends for different things. Friends are like days of the week each one is different. Friendship between women can come easily. each one is based on likes or dislikes and depending on the intensity of the like or dislike depend on the intensity of the friendship. When you find those loyal friends that will ride or die with you you've found support for life. What is a woman without her girlfriends? they give advice and they're there when you need a shoulder to cry on and they're there when your laughing too. Good friendships are hard to come by but when you find em' they're worth more then gold.

Katherine Philips found a friend whom she had to leave. I guess back in her time there was slim pickins in the friend department because women really didn't have the choices that they do now. I remember when I moved away from Massachusetts how it felt to leave my friends. I was devastated. I thought that I would never be able to live with out them. I had a best friend her name was Rachael and we did everything together. Now when I go back to MA even all these years later when we get together it's like we had never been apart because we have a lasting bond when we get together we just pick right back up where we left off. Even though time continues to move forward we will always have a lasting connection that know one can separate.
