my high school/early college gf is one of my best friends and will be forever. we had a wonderful friendship before we dated and after taking some time of no contact built back an even stronger platonic bond. especially since we were close during such formative years itâs been so rewarding to grow together - out of one form of connection and into so many othersâŁïž
my other serious ex I may never speak to again before I die.

Some of my online-friends Iâve known & loved for about/nearly 15 years at this point. Sure, not every friendship lasts, but that happens offline too.

1âfriend I met through a mutual ex (because lesbians) plus a friend she made through bumble bff and invited to our group through trivia, and an online friend of the bumble person who ran into us at the bar and joined us for trivia and the rest is history lol (plus my friend who rotated in my lab but joined a different lab for her PhD work and sometimes joins us when she can get a break from being a neuroscientist lol)
2âFriend whose younger sister I became friends with years ago and then the sister introduced me to this friend when they moved out to Maryland from South Dakota a little over a year after I did! Plus a twitter friend of this friend who became an IRL friend of both of us, and sometimes another twitter-to-irl friend who joins us when she can (and graciously drove me to and from my routine colonoscopyâbecause crohnâs lolâin September lol thank you Leah)

A few from school were really not great people who I could care less about, but the most recent one really gave me no reason to dislike her. I couldnât handle a regular friendship because I think you end up constantly reopening old wounds but we text from time to time and donât have any animosity or anything. There was no big controversy with the breakup but we were both not being the best to each other as partners and starting to grow apart. The other two were kinda similar on/off again manipulating back and forth type deals. Classic early high school drama that Iâm glad I sorted out then vs in my 20s.

as much as you can - allow yourself to feel the pain. donât judge yourself for however youâre feeling. keep busy and devote time to yourself but forgive if sometimes you still gotta stay in and sob. build up a beautiful life while grieving at the same time - and eventually you will realize youâre now as fully engaged with joy, pleasure, & passion as you once were with heartbreak !!!

international womenâs day this year was for solidarity with women in gaza, & with all palestinians. itâs not too late to start educating yourself, showing up to protests, joining orgs, looking into direct action! also would recommend lewisâ âabolish the familyâ on a different but related note
