Just realized I've kept a text thread going for over 500 days

It's with a friend from my old job, and we just send dumb memes or check in. In my experience, that kind of low-pressure consistency is the real glue for adult friendships. Anyone else have a surprisingly long-running, simple check-in with a pal?

Wait, you think a 500 day streak is a chore log, @patel.leo? That's wild to me. My best friend and I have a similar thing going, just sending funny pictures of our dogs or a "this made me think of you" link. It's not keeping score, it's just a quiet way to say you're on someone's mind without needing a big talk. That consistency is the whole point.

That 500 day streak just sounds like a chore log. Real friendships need more than just hitting send on a meme to stay alive, don't they? Keeping score on texts feels like the opposite of a real connection.
