The importance of keeping friends that are more excited about your future than you

Walk like her, you are her

Something only women will understand is how special it feels to have girl best friends. Sisterhood is the ultimate cure to everything. It heals broken wounds, opens new doors, gives you advice and nurtures your being.

Luckily, I am surrounded by beautiful women and feel safe around my group of girlfriends. It’s been exciting starting my writing journey because I’ve never opened myself up through a social media app like this before, and no one has really seen my writing until now. I feel so grateful because the women around me like what I write about and get excited when we talk about what the future holds.

Last Saturday I went out with one of best friends, Ale or how we call her Mungui. There’s not a time where I don’t laugh with her or at the things she does. We kind of have the same motto in life, go big or home. Since we’re both Leo suns we match each other’s wavelengths, especially at night. We went to an underground electronic music club and from the outside, the night club looked like a big black warehouse. Mungui said, I know it looks questionable but I promise you’ll love it. And she just grabbed my arm and we went inside.

I believe me and Mungui have big personalities and we embrace that through our outfits. I wore a cropped, brown and big furry coat and the sluttiest but sexiest black top you can think of, baggy black jeans and pointy kitten heels. Ale wore her statement shoes; cowboy boots. A flowy mini skirt, a cute 2000s belt, a silk long sleeve top and a cropped suede brown jacket that has a belt at the bottom.

How we love to abuse substances! (in the healthiest way, possible)!

Later, we danced and we danced some more. There’s something about the beat dropping that takes you back in time, it’s like it takes you back to one of your favorite days.

We shared cigarettes outside and got approached by men instantly, one said “so you guys just stand there smoking cigarettes and looking gorgeous?” (yes, but leave us alone).

Later on, we had a little sleepover and luckily, she chose me over an man. And she began to take pictures of me with her camera (she loves to take pictures) outside of my house. I’m slightly camera shy but what I won’t forget is how Mungui saw my future better than I did. Mungui would say things like, “walk how your future self that just published her book would walk”. And I’d walk like her. Then, I would say, “I want to pose like someone who has 3,000 subscribers in Substack” and she would shush me and say “you already have them, you are her”.

She’d hype me up and mention how much she loved the vibe of this. I felt comfortable with her presence because I learned that you really have to be that delusional in order to manifest and connect with the life you really want (even if what you say sounds cringe, don’t let that voice deteriorate you). She really saw me living everything I talked to her about and was happy for me. I thought about her future too, how amazing it’ll be for her when her YouTube channel grows more and more, how she’ll interview celebrities in her podcast, and produce. You feel more inspired when girlfriends like these push you to do the things you love most.

We both have great ambitions for our futures, and we will continue to live like it already happened because time is relative, and our subconscious mind doesn’t know about what’s real or not. It only portrays what you think and say. So, why not dream big? Why not think highly of yourself? be a little conceited. Dreams start coming to life when you feel and act like they’re already real. (live a little, please!)
