Female friendships. They could be the very best thing in your life. Your twenties are the most trying years, and the friendships formed during this decade, more often than not, weather the storms and stay. This is the decade when your girlfriends make drastic decisions that sometimes set them off on completely different journeys than your own. Some get promoted, others move to another continent, some get married and have kids, and others achieve remarkable feats.

While our twenties we undergo important transitions, often moving away from our long-time friends, it is also the time when we find new ones. At the risk of iterating a cliché, friendship truly is a journey. But if we are lucky, we find the best of our friends while being on our individual journeys.
