Toya states that the significance of relationships has changed, especially among some Millennials who find it challenging to connect and form relationships. She emphasizes that romantic passion, on the other hand, is subjective and varies from one person to another, encompassing elements of desire, arousal, and emotional response, which may extend to friendships that involve sexual attraction.
