It took me a very long time to realize that I had been in a state of mourning after my friend and I stopped talking to each other. This beautiful and heartbreaking essay on the art of loving and losing female friends was a much-needed meditation, and I wanted to share it with you, too.
““Some problems we share as women, some we do not. You fear your children will grow up to join the patriarchy and testify against you, we fear our children will be dragged from a car and shot down in the street, and you will turn your backs upon the reasons they are dying.””
— Audre Lorde’s 1984 essay, “Age, Race, Class, and Sex: Women Redefining Difference” (via blythebrooklyn)
