      Now that I’m older and wiser I look back on the things I believed as a young man, and I cringe. We all have to learn to value friendships, and that making of a friend of a person you’d hoped to romance isn’t a loss. But it can be a painful lesson, regardless.

        The thing is, sharing stuff like this perpetuates and continue the normalisation of those same toxic ideas you grew up on. If we stop spreading the notion that friendship is second rate, eventually people will stop viewing it as such, and there will no longer be a painful lesson to be learned.
