Friendship Articles and More
I love doing these friendship roundups! I see so many friendship-related things, 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.
- I had the exciting honor of an alumni profile in WashU’s magazine! Thank you to freelance journalist and two-time Dear Nina guest, Pam Moore, for writing this fantastic piece.
- Someone Lonely Considers Me a Friend. Should I Stay in His Life? The NYT Magazine’s Ethicist columnist on the obligations we have to friends who are struggling. I covered a similar topic on one of my post popular episodes. It was with guest Ruchi Koval, titled, “I’m Just Not Into This Friendship.”
- “What We Don’t Say” Andrea Jarrell writes about the slow ending to a decades-long friendship in Midstory Magazine.
- “The Friendship Problem” by Rosie Spinks on Substack is one writer’s thoughts on having very few friends in her 30s.
- Last week I learned the Celtic term for “soul friend.” This whole piece by Maria Popova was beautiful. Thank you to Gail C. for sending it my way.
- On Instagram, I liked and agreed with “5 postures for turning an acquaintance into a friend” by @maryvangeffen.
- Also on Instagram, I appreciated this visual from @adriaadamstattoo on how to support a friend’s small business. This is great for friends’ creative endeavors, too. (Podcasts, books, etc.)
