Why it's so hard to maintain long-distance relationships
Humans are not designed to maintain long-distance relationships. That wasn't something our ancestors had to do.
Today, it is the reality of our daily lives.
And no surprise, even as the world is more connected than ever, we talk to our past loved ones less and less.
Call a childhood friend
Call your grandparents
Call your mom
Call your dad
Call your brother
Call your sister
Send a handwritten letter to someone
Grab a coffee with a past friend
Take a trip to your hometown
If you don't take the initiative, most of the people in your life won't. It's an unfortunate fact of modern life—most people suck at maintaining regular comms with people not around them.
