  • How to Feel Closer to That Friend That Lives Far Away

    Japa may have taken your friend from you, but it can’t take away the bond you share. Try the tips here to secure your BFF status.

    Having your best friend move to a different city may not be the end of the world, but it could be the end of that friendship.

    So instead of dealing with the stress of distance-induced friendship heartbreak, here are some things you can do:

    Ask them to swear

    They always say they won鈥檛 forget you but don鈥檛 take their word for it; ask them to swear on their unborn child鈥檚 edges. They鈥檒l have no choice but to remain besties with you because they can鈥檛 risk their children walking around looking like a rat ate their baby hairs鈥�

    Send them pictures

    This is perfect for people with different time zones. Send them a selfie before they wake up because your beautiful face needs to be the first thing they see before they start their day.  

    Disturb them with memes

    They already have to live with the darkness and void that comes with being away from you, and you need to remind them that you鈥檙e the source of their happiness.   

    Become their personal amebo radio station

    You owe it to your friend to keep them updated on the lives of everyone they鈥檝e left behind. And what鈥檚 a better activity than gossiping giving unsolicited commentary on the drama in other people鈥檚 lives?  

    Try virtual movie dates 

    If you want the relationship to last, you must be intentional. Sacrifice a little data, and block out a time of the day to watch a movie together with your friend. 

    Surprise them

    Take note of the days that are important to them, and do something special for them. It could be as little as a heartfelt text or as much as money. Even though there鈥檚 a high chance they have more than you, you need to remind them that you care about their special days and you鈥檙e looking out for them.

    Go and meet them

    You love them, but you鈥檙e okay with them living miles apart? Chelsea, come on now. You better go online to buy the next ticket to wherever they are. Don鈥檛 worry about money; your love should be the currency you pay with. And if love is not enough, you can quickly meet your Edo friend to borrow their broom.
