There’s nothing like falling in love with the person who’s been there all along to make you question the performative norms of modern romance. Whether it’s the chaos of the apps, or the nightmare of the bar scene, it’s enough to make you wonder if friendship isn’t the thing we should all be focused on to begin with. After all, when it comes to love stories, our favorite will always be ours….even if it did take us 11 years to realize it.
