Recently, there’s been a new term gracing our social media platforms, “girl’s girl.” Simply put, a girl’s girl is a woman who generally gets along well with other women, at least that’s the best definition Google can give. But the question is what really is a girl’s girl? What does it really mean to get along with other women and why is it important to be a girl’s girl, especially in today’s world?My personal opinion on what makes a girl’s girl is pretty similar to Google’s, but I think it goes a little deeper. A girl’s girl is a woman who supports other women, in all aspects of life. In a sense, she would be your friend who is excited for the new apartment you moved into, or the coworker who helps you succeed in your job by helping you plan a large project, or even the girl you run into in the bathroom at the club who tells you that your makeup is pretty. Having positive relationships and interactions like these with other women in your life is extremely important, and it’s crucial to find ways to support them in your own way as well. Today’s world is scary to navigate as a woman, no matter what stage of life you’re in. It’s important to find other women in your life that uplift and support you and to be the woman other girls seek out for support.In short, to be a girl’s girl is to be supportive, kind and compassionate. It’s important, especially now, to be able to build positive and progressive relationships with women to just let each other know there is always someone there and to be there for.
