For me, I am almost better at being a long distance friend than I am at being a proximity friend. I lived far away from my best friends for so long, I never found it difficult to do any of these things -- except #6, of course, which is an infantile thing that I fall victim to, constantly, with proximity friends AND long distance friends.<br /><br />Now that I'm living closer to my best friends, I'm trying to remember how to be a great proximity friend and remember that it's important to carve out more time for people. (I'm so used to just an hour or so a week -- if I'm lucky -- and heavily relying on social media to connect.) It goes both ways -- we adapt to our circumstances and it can take a bit of concerted effort to get out of those ruts.<br /><br />Great advice, Kim! #4 is one that I constantly think about doing, but am usually too forgetful to get to the post office, or too cheap to pay for postage. Gotta fix that!<br /><br />That all being said, I'm very excited about my Skype date with Kait in South Korea on Friday (her Saturday)! :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17273860852503518682noreply@blogger.com
