The Friends who show us how to love and see ourselves" Loving Right

from Yinka'sMuse · host Yinka Adeniyi

This episode is a celebration. A love letter to the friends who have shown us what it means to be truly loved, truly seen, and truly valued.After talking about choosing yourself and letting go of people who aren't meant for your season, I wanted to flip the script and celebrate the people who ARE meant to stay. The friends who don't just tolerate your growth but celebrate it. The relationships that don't drain you, they fill you up. The people who reflect back your worth when you forget it yourself.In this solo episode, I'm getting personal and sharing real stories about the friends who have taught me what love looks like. From Wuraola, who followed me to the paper room when I was searching for my Physics 101 result in a sea of posted grades (we didn't find it, but she was there with me). To Winnie, who taught me that the way I love myself will determine how other people love me, especially in romantic relationships. To Bisola, who has shown up time and time again, no matter what. To Hallelujah, whose constant strength and presence are like cold water to a weary soul.Time and space would fail me to mention all the incredible friends who have continued to show me what love looks like, and how I've been privileged to show up for them, too.We're diving into what "loving right" actually looks like in friendship, how the right people become mirrors that help us see our own worth, and why the friends we choose teach us what to accept in all our relationships. We'll explore the biblical model of friendship through David and Jonathan, Proverbs 27:17's "iron sharpens iron," and how Jesus modeled sacrificial love for friends.This episode isn't just about finding good friends; it's about recognising the sacred work that healthy friendships do in our lives. They don't just make life more fun; they actually shape how we see ourselves, what we believe we deserve, and how we learn to love.If you've ever had a friend who saw you when you couldn't see yourself, who celebrated you without competition, who showed up in the mundane moments that actually meant everything, this episode is for you. And it's also for the friends who have loved you right, because they deserve to be celebrated.
