There’s someone close to you who you deeply care about that you haven’t talked to in a long time. Call them. Send them a quick message. Let them know how you feel. Don’t wait to do this. Talk to them right now. 

Ask how their day is going. Ask what amazing things have been going on in their life. Ask what they’ve been struggling with. Ask how you can help. Show them that you love them. Tell them that they mean the world to you. 

It’s important for both of you. It shows them that you care. It helps you recognize how grateful you should be for having someone like them in your life. Let them know how grateful you are to have them. 

Try to call one person you love per week. Call your mom. Call a sibling. Talk to your niece or nephew. We all get caught up in life. We try to make excuses on why we haven’t been reaching out. We’ve been too busy to call. I have so much going on. I have no time. They should be the one calling me!

Make the time. Put your pride to the side. We all have a lot going on. Prioritize your life. If these people are important to you you’ll make the time. You’ll take time out of your day to call them.

It doesn’t have to be long. Just let them know that you’re thinking of them. Let them know how fantastic it was to talk to them. Make it a focus to call one person close to you per week. 

You’re never alone. Make sure the people you love know that too.
