Prologue

The other day was the birthday of my ex-boyfriend. I haven't seen him for over 19 years and yet, it is like he is in the same room with me some days. So, I wished him a happy 43rd birthday. He looks just like the way he did all those years ago when he broke my heart and I cried myself to sleep for a good 3 months. So, why did I wish him at all?! Well, he is on WhatsApp and I am too. It is kinda rude to not acknowledge a birthday. How do I know how he looks like now?! From the profile pic he posted!!

For the last couple of years, I have been "found" many times. However, the reason I became a WhatsApp member was for my 4 friends who live in 3 different countries on 3 different continents. They are my WhatsApp Girls and on any given day, they keep me going. The ex-boyfriend is really irrelevant! Just threw him in there for some background info on this blog creation.

Back to the girls! Why write about them?! Enough has been written about girlfriends and enough has been aired on screen. In that sense, this is nothing novel or new. What makes it different is that we are 5 girls who perhaps spent 10 months together many moons ago and ‎many moons later, the connection is extraordinary! We don't see each other every day or go shopping together; however, we communicate on WhatsApp on most days. We are of different heights and different waists and different shades of skin. We are moms, wives, daughters and sisters. We have good days and bad days, and really sad days. Through it all, we bare ourselves and share our feelings…and Everyday Girl Chat was created to preserve and revisit some of the conversations.
