roomates

Living in a women's community means more than buying tampons in bulk. I've been living with women only for the past 4 years but only now do I understand the difference between living with women and living in a women's space.

My apartment gives off a vibe that is uniquely female. When you walk in you are likely to encounter either me or one of my roomates (or all three of us) in various stages of undress. We shower and use the bathroom with the door wide open so that we can better hear and sing along to the music that plays almost 24 hours a day.

My roomates and I spend hours a day lying on each other's bed's like clichéd 50's teenage girls but not gossiping, truly sharing. Sharing in the way that our society dismisses as "girly" and unimportant.
