Welcome to another friendship roundup!
If you like friendship topics, you’ll enjoy my podcast, Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship, which you can find anywhere you listen to podcasts.
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.
- There’s been a discussion of a friendship dip in your 40s on Anne Helen Peterson’s Substack in this piece and in an article by Rachel Bowie in Purewow. That has not been my experience, but I might be unusually hyper-focused on friendship since I’ve been writing about it for almost a decade.
- From former guest, Dr. Marisa G Franco, author of Platonic, on “The Art of Lingering in Friendship”
- In Midstory Magazine, Katie Gibson wrote “My Friends Gave Me the Gift of Space.”
- I adore The Marginalian by Maria Popova. Check out, “Coleridge on the Paradox of Friendship and Romantic Love.”
- I provided some friendship content for a travel company called Flash Pack on this Instagram reel about a balance of effort in friendships. I love how they added little graphics and music. It makes me see how much I need a social media manager. Something I’m considering! If you follow me on social media, you will see that their video is 1000 times better than the ones I make on my own. Though I am really proud of how far I’ve come on those little videos! You can see some on Instagram and many more on TikTok.
