WHO’S IN YOUR LINEUP?
Did you see the episode of Sex and the City when Stanford tells Carrie that he has three therapists? “One for when I want to be coddled, one for when I want tough love, and one for when I WANT TO LOOK AT A BEAUTIFUL MAN.” LOL.
It’s a bit like that with friends and advice, don’t you think? When I want someone to give it to me straight, I’ll call my friend who will tell me what I need to hear and not what I want to hear. I know who to call depending on how I’m feeling and what I need. I have different friends for different parts of myself. I don’t expect one person to fulfill all of my emotional needs. They are people, not chocolate.
It got me thinking about how my friends are like my team that I’ve built over the course of my entire life. My starting five. For me, my starting five are my core inner circle. All my friends are essential, but I do have those friends that I know will step up no matter what. Just like when I was a part of many basketball teams. You choose the starting five based on what you’re up against. Your opponent can shoot the lights out? Then we put our best defenders on them. Small and fast? Our guards will step up.
I think that in life we are our own team manager and that means we get to choose our team, and that team is everything.
This recent weekend, my sister, my mom and I celebrated my sister’s 50th birthday and our mother’s 75th birthday. It was wonderful. We ate good food. We did face masks and wore Happy Birthday tiaras! We painted and went for a long hike. We laughed and we felt amazing in the company of women. Our women. Our family is our OT - Original Team - and then as we go along, we meet our chosen team.
We hope you celebrate your team with our Ride or Die pendant, and the Lucky Bitch that you are as you mark anniversaries of love, friendship, birthdays, breakups, engagements, graduations and all the feels with your whole team. The team that makes up all the facets of your heart.
Join us on social to tag your #RideorDies. We’d love to hear your friendship stories!
