"Just checking on you" to me is the minimum effort
And I can say that cuz I practice doing something better
I even stopped doing that with my friends . I'll say "how are you?" But now I follow it up by telling them I really want to know everything that's been going on
I literally say that I wanna know the great things happening for you and the not so great things that are happening . Tell me everything .
It shows that I really care because I actually do , and checking in on them isn't just something that's on my checklist for the day
"Sent my lil weekly/monthly text to Laquan to prove to them and myself that I'm a good friend . CHECK ✅ "
And guess what ... it prompts meaningful responses from my friends outside of "I'm good" or "everything's great how about you "
Communications that are ultimately meaningless, empty and damn near pointless.
Instead, they tell me everything. They really catch me up and let me know what I genuinely wanna know .
And these are JUST my friends .
As you could imagine this goes 10 fold for my family. My bvy sis damn near has to tell me to back tf off sometimes dbbdhdhdhdndndndbdndn
