What would it look like if we had more models for articulating our commitment to our friendships? Not just that we are committed, but what that commitment looks like, what they can expect from us and us from them. What spaces for safety and intimacy and care would that open up for us? Would we have more support when we were sick or grieving, or facing hardships like losing a job or a home? Would we have more room in our lives to take risks and follow dreams if we were making those decisions inside committed friendships?
