Friendship Articles, Episodes and More
It’s the Friday Friendship roundup! I see so many friendship-related things throughout the week, either because I find them myself or people send them to me. I’m going to keep sharing them on my site twice a month.
Podcast Episode
I cannot get enough of Esther Perel’s wisdom and her accent. Normally she talks about romantic relationships, but this week she was NPR’s Invisibilia talking about friendship therapy.
Articles
An interesting article about the idea of “romantic friendship.” More than “just friends” but not lovers, per se.
I loved quite a bit about this opinion piece at The New York Times, “I Just Turned 60, But I Still Feel 22” by Margaret Renkl. Here’s a favorite quote.
Sixty years have given me time to learn that true friendship comes not from proximity — attending the same schools or belonging to the same church or having children the same age or voting for the same political candidates. Friendship is forged across time, through good fortune and tragedy alike, and true friends are those who keep on loving one another even when it isn’t convenient and even when they don’t always agree.
