Love and Confetti

We're finally together after almost 3 years of being apart!!! After a looong hiatus from podcasting, we decided: what better time for a new episode than to do one in person? Here, we talk about how we were able to handle the distance, and reflect on the things we learned along the way. Please excuse the poor audio quality, we only realized after recording that the mic wasn't properly plugged. Oh well, better than nothing, but we promise the next episodes will be better!

Going in blind for this episode. We answer some really weird, unexpected, and thought-provoking relationship questions where there are no correct answers! Subscribe to Love and Confetti on Youtube Follow Love and Confetti on Instagram Dani: Instagram | Youtube | Website Arion: Instagram

This podcast is all about digger deeper and discovering each other, so it's only fitting that we do a We're Not Really Strangers episode. Taking a break from heavy topics and doing a more light episode for this week. Here, we ask each other questions from the WNRS Relationship Deck. These Q's are meant to show "how well we already know each other and reveal some layers we never knew existed". Let's go!

Ah, yes. THAT Question: What should I do with my life? Chances are you've asked this question at least once in your life and had a hard time coming up with an answer. It's a struggle every adult goes through. In this episode, we talk about the problem with the concept of a “life purpose” in the first place, and we give a more practical approach to finding meaning in our lives. Hint: it has nothing to do with searching for that "one thing", and everything to do with your values and your core reasons for wanting that thing. We also try to answer some really strange but deep questions about that topic, plus our personal struggles in this whole “purpose” journey. Ultimately, we learn that purpose isn't something we find, but what we choose to matter.

With the New Year comes a feeling of new beginnings and looking to the future. It's a good opportunity to use this time to reflect and appreciate all our milestones and acknowledge the struggles we're still working through. It shows us that there's so much gray in between what we think is black and white. And it shows us that even if progress seems slow, we are still moving forward, at our own pace, in our own time.

Do you have a friend who does and says things that make you feel bad? The tricky thing with friends is that sometimes our love for them blinds us to their bad behaviors. Maybe we don't realize how bad for us some friends can be, or we even shrug it off and make excuses for them. Sometimes it's hard to tell if these friends just needs a bit of patience and forgiveness, or if they're just straight up toxic. It's important to know the common warning signs that someone is not only toxic, but harmful to your mental and emotional health. And if someone in your life matches these red flags, it might be time to re-evaluate their friendship. It is important to remember that you can love someone and not be friends with them.

"I hope we can still be friends". Ah yes, that line. Depending on who you ask, saying that during a breakup is either a kind way to lessen the pain, or it could be the cruelest part. Most people have strong polarizing opinions about whether you should stay friends with your ex. On one hand, it may seem like the more mature thing to do. After all, your ex was an important part of your life. On the other hand, it can get messy and painful really fast, and sometimes being friends after a breakup just feels like a crappy consolation prize. In this episode, we talk about our exes and give our honest take on this controversial topic, as well as whether we've ever gotten jealous over each other's exes, things we've learned from our past relationships, and if it's okay if your partner still has their ex's photos on their Instagram feed!

This is an interesting one. We talk about why the worst people in history are almost always men. We also talk about how the traditional definition and expectations of "what it takes to be a man" is becoming more outdated, unfair, and just straight up toxic — and men are paying a big price for it.

In this short episode, we talk about the things we've been working on the past couple of months — Arion moving to a new city, Dani's photography, her accidentally becoming a meme, how we're dealing with the pandemic, and an exciting future purchase.

Maybe you started 2020 hoping to meet your person. But then the pandemic happened, things got weird, and dating felt even more complicated and hopeless than ever before. So now you’re bored and frustrated and anxious, thinking you’ve lost a year of your love life (among other bigger things we feel loss over), since we’re all stuck at home. In this episode, we talk about quarantine "flings", do's and don'ts when flirting online, what to do if things moving are too slow, should you lower expectations and standards, how to prepare for dating post-pandemic, some silver linings like re-discovering yourself, and the best mindset to get through this without feeling completely alone. There are a lot of ways you can make the most out of your time, both in the self-love and the love department. The situation really isn’t as bleak as you may think. Who knows, (hopefully) you might end up becoming a better person because of your time alone.

Happy 2 years to us! What a ride it has been! As we like to joke, there are 3 people in this relationship (i.e. Dani, Arion, and Athina who is Danielle's cousin). Athina has been with us from the very beginning, so it's only proper that she gets to tell her version of the story. Our first guest episode (and based your feedback, hopefully not the last)! In this episode, Athina takes over and recaps the beginning of our relationship and all the ups and downs she witnessed, how she technically played matchmaker, and how without her, maybe our relationship would have gone the other way, who knows? Hahaha. All laughs in this one. Hope you guys enjoy!
