A Letter to Drunk Girls I’ve Met in Bathrooms

Have enough shots of tequila, and every new girl you meet at a party is your best friend. They compliment your outfit, tell you that you’re pretty, and though it only may have been five minutes since you’ve met, you’re convinced that this is one of the best people you’ve ever encountered in your life. You’ve met the drunk girl in the bathroom, and you’ve probably been the drunk girl in the bathroom a time or two yourself. This is for her, wherever she may be.

Dear Drunk Girl,

From the minute I met you, huddled with three other girls and stumbling next to the sink, I knew that you and I were going to be friends. It wasn’t just because we had skipped a few levels of friendship and dove straight into the “it’s-okay-if-you-see-me-naked” stage, you attempting a heartfelt conversation while peeing in the toilet next to me. It wasn’t because you immediately noticed my MAC lipstick and asked if you could borrow it sometime. It wasn’t because I may or may not have been crying when you turned me to me and told me you are way too good for him, girl!

I think it might have been how genuinely excited you were, hugging us as if you had known us your entire life. It could have been how funny it was watching you fumble for the toilet paper. Honestly, it was probably because you showered me in slurred compliments, and who doesn’t need a friend like that?next
