About this episode

The episode explores the relationship between craving love and seeking distraction through crushes.

Am I craving love or am I craving distraction? In this episode I attempt to understand how and why I tend to find comfort in distraction within the form of having a crush. I also discuss the concept of being distracted by the potential of a relationship whilst being in a relationship that doesn't emulate the end goal. A conversation that concludes with an understanding of self. Thank you for being here. Enjoy ☆ Find podcast merch here!
