Man, you wouldn’t believe how many times I almost ghosted my old crew—life gets nuts, right? But here’s the weird part: the secret’s not in grand gestures. It’s dumb stuff, like sending a meme at 2 a.m. or yelling “Remember that time we...?” during a random Tuesday call. I used to overthink it—planning meetups, buying gifts—but nah. Just show up messy. Forgot their birthday? Apologize with tacos. Too busy? Text “still love ya” between Zoom meetings. Friendship’s not a performance; it’s a group chat that never dies. Oh, and pro tip: never let “I’ll call you later” become “I’ll call you never.” Saw that happen to Dave. Tragic. Keep it stupid simple—laugh at their bad jokes, steal their fries, remind them they’re stuck with you. That’s the glue. No rulebook, just stubborn love.
