Real friendships don’t need to be perfect — they just need to be protected. Life gets loud, schedules get packed, and suddenly years have drifted by and the people who know you best are just names in your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nobody drifts on purpose. It happens in the gap between meaning to call and actually calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So here’s tonight’s porch question: how do you stay connected with your closest people? Read the four below and drop your number in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s no right answer here — just honest ones. And if none of them fit, tell us your own rhythm; that’s usually the best part. If someone’s number sounds like yours, say so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This conversation started on the porch. Head over to our Facebook community to read what everyone shared — and add your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
