I know that digital calendars are deeply cursed, so YMMV with this one, but I highly recommend a standing time with your good ones. It says, "I am committed to this relationship and plan to see more of you!" in an absolutely non-ominous way. It says, "Regrets only." I love looking forward to my standing park walk, my first friday coffee hang, and sister dinner. I love planning for a future full of friends.

I keep a standing calendar date with my long-distance friend. At first I made the typical excuses – "My schedule changes all the time", "I'm really busy", "I'll try to make it", "maybe when terms up"....thank god for this friend b/c she did not let me slack. Rarely do we cancel and it's actually fantastic. We have our own little rules for the gathering (no course prep, no admin, no emails) only writing/research/making.

maybe it’s a quick coffee chat or a 2hr dinner or just an arts and crafts sesh but i want to know about my friends lives! even with the busyness of life i want to make sure i set time aside to make sure my friends know i appreciate them. i’ve had way too many friendships just slowly fizzle out because we text every few weeks saying we should catch up and never do.

there’s something so satisfying about a lengthy hangout. there are so many shifts and unspoken compromises between people, roles assumed and forfeited. it’s just awesome, i love my friends.

Type selection / touch area on mobile for text is a bit challenging and I usually have to delete type letter by letter or double click words one by one if I’m editing text. I can’t drag and highlight.

Elvis ate here. This place was just chock-full of Elvis memorabilia.
