a woman typing and texting on her phone
The author, not pictured, only texts her best friend.
  • It's been two years since I saw my best friend, and we never talk on the phone. 
  • Instead, we text each other throughout the day, and I still feel close to her. 
  • I wonder if it's a healthy habit, but it works for us and our priorities. 

My best friend and I haven't seen one another in person since we last saw each other about two years ago. That being said, we "talk" every day by constantly text messaging one another about anything and everything going on in our lives. Sometimes, we have simultaneous conversations via text and DMs.
