the bachelor

  • I confessed to our Director of PM that I was going to finish my project briefs while watching The Bachelor tonight and she made fun of me :(
  • I have stop being ashamed about my love for this show
  • The women sadden me but I cannot stop watching. All they seem to care about is male attention, like Courtney, “winning” and ignore things like true compatibility, lack of things to laugh about, THAT HAIR (Oh Ben), the fact that they look like lovesick fools and have no self-respect. Dudes don’t rule everything around you.
  • Yes, fine. It makes me feel better about myself. As I told our Director of PM, I’m not motivated enough to be that girl anymore. It takes a lot of energy to be crazy.
  • Courtney needs to stop saying WINNING. Girl, this was filmed way after that was no longer “winning.”
  • I miss the blogger :(
  • I read all the show spoilers. I can’t even help myself. I had to know. 

“Here’s the truth: friendships between women are often the deepest and most profound love stories, but they are often discussed as if they are ancillary, “bonus” relationships to the truly important ones. Women’s friendships outlast jobs, parents, husbands, boyfriends, lovers, and sometimes children.
…
I saw, on that afternoon, that it’s possible to transcend the limits of your skin in a friendship. That a friend can take you out of the boxes you’ve made for yourself and burn them up. This kind of friendship is not a frivolous connection, a supplementary relationship to the ones we’re taught and told are primary – spouses, children, parents. It is love.”

Transformation and Transcendence: The Power of Female Friendship

Beautiful story. And making me cry, especially as I prepare to leave my lady friends in Atlanta in one week.
