Welcome back to Abby’s Place — where no matter where you are, you can always feel a little at home. This week, we’re diving deep into love, situationships, and what it means to stay open-hearted in a world that often tells us to shut down.
From spontaneous travel plans (hi, Greece!) and postponing a half marathon, inviting a maybe-stranger across the world, and reflecting on modern hookup culture, I’m unpacking what I’m learning about love at 23 — especially the tension between craving companionship and trying to stay cool with casual. This one gets real.
I’m also reading an excerpt from one of my favorite Substack writers, Freya India, and sharing how her words helped me reframe heartbreak as hope.
So whether you’re in a situationship, healing from one, or just feeling any kind of way — come hang out!
