Romance your friends, romance your life

Intimacy isn’t just sexual; Intimacy is about building deep connections, and feeling valued and understood. There’s often intimacy in friendships where there’s open communication, vulnerability, and honesty. 

I recently watched an Instagram video about romance being a feminine language and how most “romance” happens with female friends. We don’t think of them as romantic gestures in platonic relationships, but those moments like remembering our birthday, knowing what we like, and doing things for us without asking are typically elements of what we call romance and want from our partnerships. 

It’s a good reminder that we have many important relationships in our life, and prioritizing friends and family is just as valid as centering partnerships. 

While we reframe and appreciate these lovely romances with friends, let’s also delight in romanticizing our lives. 

Let’s notice and create moments of magic – Buy fresh flowers, watch a sunrise, take a long drive to nowhere, dance in your kitchen, start a scrapbook, walk barefoot in grass, send a random gift or handwritten letter, burn your best candles, go on a solo date to the movies…

There might be more romance in your life than you thought.
You’re worth it.
