Black Woman to Black Woman

There are many times I still yearn for sisterhood. I mean I have had female friends, some ok, some seasonal, just like men. Whether straight, bi, curious, lesbian, etc. I often wonder what is going on with us black women. Do we have to be in a clique with each other to like or love each other? Do we have to dress a certain way for us to like each other? I dont get it. Maybe I try to figure too much. Where are my girls? Is every thing a competition thing? I would like to be able to connect with other single women who I have things in common with like maybe no kids, maybe who have been curious about some things, maybe explored some other things but still good women with some unique goals and who dont fit into ghettofabulous. Who feel like they walking the road solo and that they have to be they own best friend to make it. It take alot of heart and courage to keep going and making new goals in a negative world, city, etc....This is all Im gonna say right now. I have alot on my mind.
Sometimes the people who claim to be so real always arent so real if they have to hide who they are outside.

Sister I can relate, but please know that making friendships isn't something that's done overnight. Making true friends is something that takes time to establish.

Also cliques aren't unique to any one ethnic group, but can be found in many groups. I don't understand cliques, but they are everywhere. When I was single with no kids, I got involved with various clubs & even then I found it challenging bonding because people find it difficult to trust others because of what they've been through. I hope you find what you're looking for, but until then I say keep your head up.

Tracey,
I feel that walking alone isn't so bad too. I like the alone time and the freedom to be who I want to be which is sometimes difficult when you find yourself amongst people who want you to blend and be like them. Friendships although tricky/challenging are rewarding when you find the right people to be friends with.
