Friendship Blog Posts

Being that most of my immediate family is dead and for a healthy amount of my adult life I was single, I have a LOT of thoughts on how we treat friendship in society. We need so much from our friends, and yet we don’t even think twice about prioritizing family or romantic partners over all friendships. And if you’re someone without as many social resources, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle. Plus everyone has different rules regarding friendship. There’s a lot to discuss, so I like to write a lot about it. Check out my links below.
