Wow, thanks for this honest take on adult friendships. The feeling of a slow slipping away, the aversion to using "modern tooling" to nurture them... it all resonates. I took myself out to dinner and wrote a letter to my sister last night because of you :)
wow you made my day Melissa! Thank you so much for helping shape this piece and then, in turn, actually taking action on it in your own life.
Sending you so many smiles 🥰
Side note of something else I want to write about: precisely — the modern tools sometimes honestly cause more distraction or confusion with the preferred communication styles. Then the essence of heartfelt, intentional connections can get lost. So much irony in the fact that we live in the most connected world, and yet are somehow so disconnected at the same time.

You write so eloquently! It puts my writing to shame! However, I’ll carry on :) and stop criticizing myself.
Very good idea re the letter writing. I may try it!
Aww thank you for reading Audrey 😊 and no need for criticizing 🩷
Please do let me know if you write a letter. I’d love to hear about how it goes. Maybe at the next meetup :)
You checked out The Summer I Turned Pretty!
I can see how this might have messed up your sleep schedule. It's pretty all-consuming. Especially season 3!
I only watch one episode a week, since I've been watching for a while.
Wow you have such self control Melissa! One episode a week wow. I need more friction 😆
