Happy Girlfriend’s Day❤️

By August 1, 202557 Comments

Hey Vicky,

It’s August 1st. Girlfriends day.

Normally our single selves would mock such a ‘trivial’ day and talk about how girlfriends should be appreciated every day of the year. While that sentiment hasn’t changed, women should always be appreciated – I get it now.

I found the love that we’d speak about but never thought it would be real. You wouldn’t believe it, but I was giddy waiting for him to wish me happy girlfriend’s day. Who have I become😭I wish you were here. I want nothing more than to tell you all about it. You’d really like him I’m sure. Sometimes we’d be having debates and I hear a little bit of you in him. It makes me smile

Point is, as much as I feel loved everyday, it’s another feeling to know that there’s a whole day i.e valentines, a birthday or girlfriends day that you become all someone wants to think about. Today I came across your mums instagram and I came back here for the first time in a while. And what a fitting day it happened to be; because it’s girlfriends day. And you were one of my favorite. Still are, from wherever you are. So happy girlfriend’s day to my beautiful girl. I miss you so much. You showed me devoted platonic love and I never felt like I was lacking. I only hope I was able to do the same for you. I hope to show the same friendship and the same love to everyone around me. That’s one of the gifts you left me with.

Oh, there’s a Nicki Minaj TikTok trend going around for balancing on a small surface while wearing heels. That trend reminds me so much of you🤣I can actually see you trying something that dumb. Even the lyrics. One of the podcast ladies from Bitchtopia did it too. I need to get back on that playlist to remember more of you by.

I finished my first year of university and got my first big girl job too. You’d be so excited. But you’d hate my boss😭 All that matters though is I’m getting the experience I need. And yes madam, I’m aware that I’m feeding into capitalism. I apologize🙏

I started off writing with sad tears, because I felt like memories were fading and I don’t have our old texts or enough pictures with you. But the more I wrote, the more I started to smile because I feel your presence and your memories in every little thing I do. You know I love purple flowers now? That’s so you. Either you’re haunting me or you’re the most memorable and remarkable girl out there. I think the latter is more politically correct. And, I find it true.

So one more time, Happy Girlfriends Day to the OG girlfriend. I’m so glad I thought about you today. 

I love you and miss you always.

-Ivy
