Staying in contact

As time goes by and as we grow older, it seems that we lose touch with the people we care about. The once upon-a-time close friends become distant memories & family members drift away into their own lives. The further you go when you lose touch, the harder it seems to get back into contact with the ones you care about and sometimes it can even be nearly impossible.
So the question is how can you improve your ways of staying in contact with those you care about?

LETTERS - The time of writing letters is so old-school but yet it can be something really special to receive a written letter via post. In recent days typing a letter is soo much faster, while it may not be as personal as handwritten one, it’s certainly better than not writing at all.

TECHNOLOGY - With the recent technology to our avail, its so much easier to stay in contact even with friends or family that’s hundreds or thousands of kilometres away. Various tools make it easy and inexpensive to send frequent communication.

To stay in contact should not be a burden, make it a habit to stay in contact. Some people find this tedious because they feel nervous or don’t know where to where to start. Make time frequently and devote to stay in contact. A simple message to say “hello” or “how are you” can mean a lot. Don’t make excuses for not being in contact as the same rules applies to the other party.

Always remember the importance of staying in touch with the people you care about.

Try not to get so wrapped up in your daily lives, jobs and other responsibilities that you forget parents, siblings, close friends and other people that are important to you.
