That Girl in That Group .......
That girl is never celebrated enough. In fact if there was to ever be a national holiday, let’s even settle for an Instagram holiday, how would it play out? Would there be poems written about her, a custom font, a dedicated hashtag that would somewhere find its way on to a t-shirt, and a Sephora discount code for anyone who brings in a favorite photo of that girl. That girl doesn’t get treated as well as donuts do on National Donut Day.
What could we say about that girl? Maybe that she’s the one who remembers that your mom had knee surgery and asks about it the next time you bump into each other on the street. She is always carrying a tote bag. And you can tell from a quick look that the fact it’s not overstuffed or bulky, she is well equipped. However, there is also enough room left for spontaneity like a bag of croissants that are just about done for the day as she passes her favorite bakery. She is always making a new playlist for every mood and memory. Sentimentality is important to her. She keeps things to remember a day in Coney Island. On the night of her bestfriend’s birthday when her boyfriend proposed to her, she kept a matchbook with the date written on the inside cover and included it inside their wedding gift months later. She keeps her childhood dog Brandy’s collar hanging by the front door so that when she arrives home, his presence is felt. She believes that everyone that comes into your life is for a reason.
She is that girl in the friend group who tells you to text her when you get home. And she means it, because if you don’t she will worry herself to no end. And then you’ll get a call as soon as you’re about to snore yourself to sleep.
