Honestly, I used to think keeping friends long-term meant grand gestures or constant texting—but nah. It’s the dumb little stuff: sending that meme at 2 a.m., showing up with coffee when they’re stressed, or just sitting in silence without it being awkward. I’ve learned it’s less about “staying in touch” and more about staying real. Missed birthdays? Forgiven. Ghosted for a month? No biggie—as long as you circle back with zero guilt-trip. I keep it loose, low-pressure. Sometimes we go months without talking, then pick up like no time passed. That’s the magic. Also? Celebrate their wins like they’re yours—genuinely. And never compete. Ever. Oh, and if they’re being a hot mess? Don’t fix them. Just sit in the mess with ‘em. That’s how you build trust that doesn’t crack under life’s dumb chaos. Simple. Messy. Human.
