I have a huge problem with the quote in that picture. The idea that you don't have to actually put in any effort to make your relationships last is ridiculous. Do you know what happens if you are constantly waiting for people to call you without ever reaching out to them?

They aren't going to call you.

We all get busy. We forget our friends for a few days sometimes because life can get a bit hectic. It's hard to make our relationships last. People care about you even if they don't write two-page texts about how amazing your laugh is or how funny you are. They miss you even when they forget to text for a while. They want you around but sometimes it's hard for us to say stuff without feeling stupid for saying it.

Relationships are not one-sided. It's a mutual decision. And if you miss someone, don't forget that you also have a phone and can call them too.

catch you later,
