Oh, to be loved!

Women. That's the tweet.

Hi my bubbling bubbles,

I’m so happy to be writing to you again

I can’t say I’ll be here always, but I’m grateful you listen whenever I do show up.

Now, for better or worse, my life has been taking some pretty interesting turns this season. A metamorphosis of sorts, if you will, and to be honest, the difference between fantasy and reality has been jarring😂

In some good, and bad ways.

However, some things have remained constant, and I’ll highlight one of them today in light of the celebration.

My girlfriends.

The new, the old, and all those in between.

It has been a blessing to grow with them, to change with them, to unlock milestones with them. To watch them bloom and blossom, and do it alongside them.

I have known love, and I am thankful to them for it.

They have held me, loved me, forgiven me, wronged me, shown up for me, annoyed me, and taken me through every single emotion you can think of😂

They have broken my heart, mended it, sat with me, shared tears and warmth with me, been curious with and about me, learnt with me, loved with me, and even hated with me.

They have shown me love in every shape and form, and given me many reasons to love being alive.

Gosh, I’m so giddy writing this, tuning out the world around me with the beautiful memories.

They’ve taught me so much. How to let loose, how to be silly, how to be serious, and get shit done.

They’ve called me out on my bullshit so many times, and dragged me out of the wormhole my mind can be.

They’ve prayed for me, prayed with me, and taken my supplications to God on my behalf.

And they’ve spoiled me silly.

They raise my standards every single time.

I only pray to even be able to show them half of the love they’ve shown me in this lifetime, and if we’re back here again (unfortunately), I wouldn’t want to do it over without them. Ever.

I don’t think I could ever survive a life without them.

I don’t think I ever want to.

So, this is my love letter to them.

Thank you for all you are and all you do.

For who you are, and who you’re becoming.

You are enough and you always will be

And if you have no cheerleaders in the room, know I’m dead

And even if I am, read this and remember how much I love you.

And how the stars in the sky cannot quantify the amount of love I have for you.

My strong, loving, beautiful, powerful women, who can do everything they set their minds to, and more. The world takes shape around them because they are forces to be reckoned with, and their intellect and creations will stun the entire universe. My loves, my home. The women who never let me forget how loved I am, undeserving and yet without borders.

I love you all very much; it is a pleasure to be alive with you.

Thank you, thank you.

P.S.

Y’all, it’s my birth month🥳

So we’re celebrating all month long🥰

You can send this to your girlfriends and tell them how much they mean to you.

You can also keep messages for them in the comments if you please.

Cheers and happy August!!!

Love, Zii💕
