Eighteen. Practicing with your best friends
I’ve said a bazillion times that a great relationship is built on unconditional love. And the best way I know to achieve that is by being an amazing friend, in a group of friends, connected to families. Being dedicated, creative, daring, and completely committed to the other person’s well-being, with or without you in their future. Which means you have boundaries in the friendship so you don’t send confusing messages. This is self-control. If you approach people like this, you’re way less likely to rush into a “relationship”. Instead, you’ll have a lot of time to get to know them, which is a way of loving them by respecting their space.
