“What we try to suppress defines us (more on this in the vulnerability chapter), or, in the words of one of my psychology supervisors, “Anything unspeakable to you is affecting you.” That’s why we don’t heal shame by hiding it.”
Marisa G. Franco, Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends

“For our life to feel significant, we crave someone to witness it, to verify its importance.”
Marisa G. Franco, Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends

“Our friends advertise the kaleidoscope of ways we can live. They expose us to new ways of being in the world, showing us another life is possible.”
