Of female friendships (or the lack of it)

A series of events made me realize that the one kind of friendship I’ve never truly had is a deep, effortless bond with another woman—one free from jealousy or competition. It’s made me question whether I’ll ever find a friendship like the ones portrayed in books and TV shows, a Monica to my Rachel etc.

How do you nurture a friendship between females? I want to have friends 😭

PS - if you are man posing to be a woman. Please yar, let it be.
