You Can Do It Girlfriend

At age 14 I had a group of girlfriends and we were inseparable. My BEST friend changed over the first few years of high school and I was very fortunate and lucky to have such beautiful girls in my life. One thing we loved to do was sing. We used to sing all of our favourite songs, popular and not popular and harmonise and split up each song like we were the pros. Every lunch we used to go down to the bridge and practice our chosen song for the week and just sing sing sing. We used to have parties in which we would get dressed up and get out our parents bar stools and put on performances for our friends. Our poor friends hahah How bored they must of been. (Isn't it funny that from age 13-15 this is how our time and parties were spent. These days girls at that age are out at parties getting drunk and sleeping around - I know this is judgmental and it's terrible for me to say and I really do hope that girls out there are proving me wrong and still holding on to their innocence) Anyway my dear friend Carly and I decided to write our own song. We spent hours, days, weeks writing our song. I remember working on a line at a time and each line we would work on for hours. The melody and the words we worked as one. We made sure it was perfect! 10 years later I still remember every lyric and every note. We didn't know music or how to write music so it's all in my head and every now and then I catch myself humming away to the tune and it makes me laugh! How cute and innocent we were and we were so proud! 

~ Here is our song ~

YOU CAN DO IT GIRLFRIEND
