tonight I went out with three girlfriends to the brown bar, a swanky dowtown spot with very sweet, very expensive cocktails. i wanted to get dressed up and go out with my girlfriends to celebrate my one month anniversary of being single.
maybe it was silly to go out on a wednesday night. to be beautiful together, perched on couches in the dimly-lit brown bar. to be drinking mojitos and champagne and cosmopolitans. to gossip and laugh. to make summer plans. to make post-dissertation, post-master's report plans. to toast ourselves for being single and fabulous.
"to independence!"
"to us!"
but it was nice to be out with the girls. to varying degrees, each of us are muddling through grad school and life in general. but we're in it together. i look at them and feel a collective sense of spirit and strength and optimism. i look at them and feel blessed to have the company of such beautiful, intelligent, and independent women.
