The Forty Files

Moonlit Missives is my February series dedicated to writing love letters to individuals and communities deserving of recognition and respect. Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to express love, appreciation, and remind others of their visibility and significance. Through these heartfelt letters, I hope to uplift, honor, and celebrate those who often go unrecognized.

A Love Letter to My Girlfriends

I am endlessly grateful for the incredible women in my life—my Galentines, my sisters in spirit.

Throughout my life, I have been blessed with powerful, joyful, and deeply supportive female friendships. Women who lift each other up, who celebrate each other’s wins, who stand together through life’s highs and lows. These friendships have shaped me, strengthened me, and filled my world with love.

I cherish the beauty of our differences—the way we learn from each other, challenge each other, and grow together. In every conversation, every shared laugh, every moment of understanding, I find absolute hope for humanity.

To the women who give love so freely, who pour kindness into the world, who lead with strength and grace—you are extraordinary. And I am endlessly thankful for you. ❤️
