I have always loved this quote about intimacy and friends. Although I have no idea who wrote it still!
"kiss your friends' faces more
destroy the belief that intimacy must be reserved for monogamous relationships
be more loving
embrace platonic intimacy
embrace vulnerability
use emotionality as a radical tactic against a society which teaches you that emotions are a sign of weakness
tell more people you care about them
hold their hands
tell others you are proud of them/ offer support readily
take care of the people around you"
