cohabitation tips

the other day, i connected with a friend about some relationship advice that i’ve found my way into over the past 6 or so years. these three tips i’ve found to be extremely helpful when it comes time to move in with a partner. they are extra true when one or both people are moving to a new city/town. these are lessons that i have learned from my own direct experience or i’ve learned them in community with other people who were going through their own experiences. as with all advice, take the best, leave the rest.

top 3 uncle tips

a couple weekends ago i went on a hike in the blue hills with two friends of mine, jenny and grant. while chilling at the top of great blue hill, jenny asked for my top three uncle tips. i thought about it for a bit and came up with these. i’m sharing them here as a continued commitment to working out loud but i want to name that these are not things i do perfectly. they’re just things that i’d recommend any uncle start with on their uncling journey.
