I want to feel truly useful to my good friends. I want to support them. This isn't easy, but I want to try a little harder.
I want my friends to know my thoughts (the ones I think are worth sharing, that is) more often. This comes from a void I feel whenever I look at my friends' social media and read words in the form of articles on the internet. I keep wishing for more below the surface (social media) and a more humanity and life from words (articles). I just want to know the big themes my friends' are thinking about more often. Instead of reading boring articles, I want words on the internet to come from my friends and to be about things they like or feel strongly about.
I want to be open to various forms of communication from my friends becuase I know it's a busy world.

I want to send an upate email to my extended family (kind of like a holiday card) on the first day of summer next year, and make it a personal tradition. (I almost did it this year, but I felt it was too close to my grandpa's death.)
