The Glorification of Romantic Love: The Case for Friendships, Platonic Intimacy, and Self-Love
When you think about the relationships in your lives, which do you find yourself dedicating more time and energy towards? Your friendships? The ones with your family? A partner (romantic or otherwise)? What about yourself?
In this episode, Kalen and Emily talk about the glorification of romantic love as being ~the love~ everyone should strive for. As two people who never placed that much of a priority on romantic love, our hosts break down their own perspectives on the importance of continuing to nurture friendships and other non-romantic relationships into adulthood, as well as how to sus out boundaries and when (+ how) to gracefully bow out of a friendship. Grab your favorite beverage and learn what Kalen and Emily think you need to know about relationships at your big age.
