Wait, you’re telling me you actually kept up with old friends without ghosting? How? I swear I suck at this—last year I forgot my buddy’s birthday, again. But hey, maybe that’s the secret? Like, stop overthinking it. Send a dumb meme at 2 a.m., show up messy in sweatpants for coffee, admit you’re bad at texting back. Real friends don’t need perfect check-ins, they just need you to be… you. Even if “you” forgot their kid’s name twice. Risk? Yeah, you might look lazy or flaky. But opportunity? They’ll probably laugh and say “same.” Who actually plans deep convos every month? I don’t. And guess what—my oldest friend still texts me cat videos from 2017. That’s the glue. Not effort. Just… showing up weirdly, inconsistently, and honestly. You really think scheduled Zoom calls beat that?
