Ep. 28: "Nothing Will Change" is a Lie. Reflections on "Everything I Know About Love" by Dolly Alderton

In this episode, I talk about the book that has received the most highlights from me so far in 2026: Dolly Alderton’s memoir, "Everything I Know About Love".As we move from the chaotic energy of our teenage years to 20s into our 30s, the landscape of our friendships inevitably shifts.Dolly captures that specific heartache when a childhood best friend moves out to live with a partner. Even when they promise "nothing will change," we know the intimacy, the frequency, and the "real-time" nature of their connection will never be the same.I share my favorite quotes from the book, reflecting on how friendship takes conscious work and why the most profound lessons about love don't necessarily come from the romantic kind. If you've ever felt a sense of loss as your friends entered different life stages, this episode is for you2026年で今のところ一番多くハイライトを引いた、ドリー・アルダートンの回顧録『Everything I Know About Love』について話しています。 親友が恋人と住むために家を出ていくとき、私たちは「何も変わらないよ」と互い言い聞かせつつ、「かつてのような親密さは失われる」ということを実はわかっている。 恋愛だけが「愛」ではない。転びそうなときにそっと手のひらを差し伸べてくれるような、そんな存在こそが愛なんだと教えてくれる、本書について語ります。
