“Ya know, I don't know, Tibby, maybe the truth is there's a little bit of loser in all of us, ya know? Being happy isn't having everything in your life be perfect. Maybe it's about stringing together all the little things like wearing these pants or getting to a new level of Dragon's Lair - making those count for more than the bad stuff. Maybe we just get through it... and that's all we can ask for.” Bailey states (the young Jenna Boyd) in front of Tibby’s (Amber Tamblyn) video camera, in the girly teen classic, Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. I cannot lie, I watched this movie (and the sequel) hundreds of times, it is the inner girly-girl in me who likes the drama, the love, and most importantly, the friendship. I agree that family is such an important part of life, blood will always be blood, but friendships (even ones made with family members) is so special and true, you share a certain bond that no-one else understands but your weird, crazy friend group. Bailey couldn't of said it any better, that all the little things put together is what makes life so great, like every one of our loved ones, having all of them makes our world turn easier and smiles brighter.
These last couple of years I have been reconnecting with my high school best friend group, and honestly… it is like nothing has changed! Yeah we’ve grown a little, been through more of life’s steps, and seen more, but our friendships together has not changed. We can still be goofy as hell, talk about life for hours on end, act and laugh like children, it was a great feeling being with all of them again. I recently got engaged (I know look at me! More in-depth blog about that later on) and I never realized how important friendship is then I now see around this time; with their support, the planning process, just everything makes it feel so much better with their presence and advice.
Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants shows so much about true friendship. The sharing of the “magical” pants is whatever, but the support they give each other through their problems they each face is so liberating! Bridget’s (the HOT Blake Lively) mother passed away at the beginning of the film, through out the movie(s) she goes through problems a lot of teen girls go through (first crushes, finding herself, etc.) and she hurts that she cant share these things with her mom, so her friends are instantly there giving her everything they can give. Having that support and company in your life is a gift, a gift sometimes we all take advantage of. We all may fight and have disagreements but in the end your friends for a reason, you love each other for who they are.
Keep your friends close and always remind them how grateful you are for they are.
Love;
Rachel
