Keeping in touch with friends and loved ones is not just an act of love and care but it shows mutual orientation for the ties and interest they share, it is a thing of joy seeing your friends call you on the home not to even mention good family members, sometimes we get distracted by the hurdles of struggle in our different ways and system which sometimes makes us forget keeping in touch, I mean talking to your best friend on phone alone can be the best thing happening to me at that very moment it doesn't matter how I felt and what I was doing.
But then you know as young people we do have a lot of friends and colleagues coupled with family that we always want to talk to, even those that we find interest in them.
At the moment I'm not the kind of person that really love calls especially long calls where I will be talking on phone for 40_50 minutes, that's why I will always try to get all of their contact so we can chat on WhatsApp, I personally prefer keeping in touch through WhatsApp because calls will definitely not come everyday and I will not be calling someone everyday just because I was to talk to my friend or family member
Few weeks ago one of my very best friends back then in secondary school called me, but when I saw the call it was a strange number we all pathed our ways, then he didn't have a phone, so in the process of talking to the person I ask to know who he was, he told me his nick name but I couldn't remember, he told me his real name as well but I couldn't get it, so he decided to narrate a scene of what happened back in school, I mean that was when I remembered him it was because he had a different voice entirely, I didn't know when I started hailing him, but then I have not being that active in calling him, because we always chat online.
However calling to hear from a loved one or friends does so many things that we may not know. using this particular call as an example, I was just broke during that season but immediately I spoke with him I felt encouraged because of the discussion we had.
Communication now are passed in diverse manners and in simpler forms breaking the deal of having to miss your loved ones in any manner.
Don't forget that communication with friends and family reduces stress, it increase sense of belonging, even though they may not aid to your life financially but it gives mental support and relief.
I love communication that doesn't require much expenses so I do video calls or audio WhatsApp calls more than audio offline calls.
