It seems like a lot of television shows nowadays are all about celebrating platonic friendships.
And don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely all for moving away from this insistence that romantic love should be the ultimate goal for every person. But when I watch these shows, there is a part of me that can't help but feel a little sad and wistful.
This is mostly because, outside of high school, I've never had a 'girl gang.'
Watch: Celebrities you didn't know were friends. Story continues after video.
I have friends, yes – friends I love and adore with my whole heart. But the friends I have exist in different, separate parts of my life – we don't all hang out together.
I hang out with them one-on-one mostly and a lot of them haven’t even met each other. That's not through some nefarious plan to keep them apart on my behalf, it's just because, like I said, they're friends who I've met in different avenues of my life that, for some reason or another, just haven't intersected.
So, this means that the 'girl gang' dynamic has always eluded me.
What is a 'girl gang', I hear you ask?
