There’s an article of mine on Medium now based on a “bold” statement claiming friendships require some phone chat time. In other words, I suspect that texts/emails/social media messages cannot sustain a friendship forever. Not everyone agrees. (They’ve let me know on Twitter.) And that’s okay!
Turns out I don’t have any real say on how anyone communicates with their friends. Text away! I love texts, too. But my suspicion remains.
You can read the article here.
Are you a Medium reader? I’ve only recently been experimenting over there. Both as a reader and a writer.
