Female friendships are some of the strongest bonds on the planet. We can count on our girlfriends to bring us ice cream when we’re going through a breakup and laugh at our lame jokes. We look to them for comfort, support, understanding, and a shoulder to cry on.

Of course, we love our significant other, but men and women think and act very differently, and women tend to bond on a deeper emotional level. Women help talk each other through problems and support one another to become the best versions of themselves. It’s hard to describe in words just how important female friendships are in a person’s life.

Studies have even shown that women with early stages of breast cancer were four times as likely to die from cancer if they didn’t have close friends. Those who had more friends had a higher rate of survival. This remained true whether the friends lived close to each other or far away.

Below, we will share with you some photos that prove how powerful friendships really are.
