I recently joined Medium and I found it so therapeutic to scroll through their pieces on love, heart break, confidence and more. The last year and a half I have found a lot of peace in reading articles that resemble experiences I have been through. I feel connected and am always learning from other’s experience. Since we all have some extra time on our hands and probably need some connection: here are my 5 favorite Medium articles.

“Uncomfortable Truths about my Relationship“

I love this one — it is a piece about asking yourself questions about a relationship in your past. I found this to be an incredibly profound and introspective experience.

“How to Care for Yourself Based on Your Love Language“

I found this one to be really valuable in terms of self care and knowing how to best treat yourself. If can also be a great guide in how you want to show other people how to treat you. I really wish I had read this a couple years back!

“A Pandemic is Still not a Reason to Text Your Ex“

You know that song lyric: “But if the world was ending, you’d come over right?” (Which happens to be extremely timely with all that’s going on in the world with COVID19.) Well, even though that song tugs at my heartstrings and can dubiously make you think that calling that one person that, you think, can make you feel secure, is most likely not the person you should call at all. Whether the world is ending or not.

“Seven Signs Someone’s Ready to Date“

This article helped me check in with myself and see where I was in my process. It gets me excited for the future.

“This Isn’t the Time to Accept People’s Toxic Behavior“

Just another reminder that even though these are daunting times, it doesn’t mean the people you distanced yourself from, in the past, deserve another chance. Pandemic or not: people need to still be accountable for their actions and that you also should keep your standards where they have always been.

There you have it: my 5 favorite Medium articles. Which one resonates with you the most?
