Communication is important.

The thing is, people don't know how to talk to each other any more. 

It's really actually quite sad, so many friendships and relationships fall apart over the lack of communication. People stop talking, stop calling, stop texting and become strangers once again. It's rare to have many people that you can stop talking to for months and months and it being the same as before. Yeah some people you can stop talking to for a few days or weeks and you meet up and have a good catch up. But if it's a really long time, and you're really good friends maybe even best friends, when you meet up you may even feel like you barely know the person you're sitting in front of, the person who you once were really close to. 

So what I am saying is pick up your phone. Text someone who means a lot to you, or someone you were once close to, or someone you still are close to but haven't spoken to in a few days/weeks. I have. And I will again. Because I don't want to lose touch with the special people in my life who do mean a great deal to me. 

Don't wait around waiting for someone to message you, there's a chance they're waiting for you to message them. 

If you miss someone, anyone, pick up the phone, give them a call, send them a text. What if they miss you too? 

Keeping in touch with each other is important. Even if you can't meet up with someone keep in touch. 

Just one quick text, call or email can make such a difference. It tells the person you haven't forgotten about them. No matter how far apart you are. 

I've seen friendships and relationships die from lack of communication. My own and those of others close to me. So I'm going to make sure I change that. I won't let it happen again. I've learnt from my mistakes. I'm going to be brave and take the first step in messaging people I haven't spoken to in a while. There are people in my life who I don't want to lose and I'm going to make sure I keep in contact with them so that it does not happen. 

If you miss someone. Tell them. If you want to see someone. Make it happen. Like I said in my last post. Life is too short. Make the most of it. There's no point worrying about the what ifs. xx
