Zanele*
Friendship is important. Individuality and independence is important too. Growing up, my church instilled values of aspiration to marriage. I have come to appreciate the idea of platonic soul mates.
What are your thoughts on ‘it will end in tears’?
‘So what if it ends?‘
And your thoughts on closure?
‘In my experience the idea of closure has not been useful. You cannot force the other person to care.‘
