Make time for the people you care about. So many of us count on those who love us to just always be there, but you never know when that will stop being the case-by choice or otherwise. Give a quick call. Send that "I'm thinking about you" text. Be the first to arrange plans. Everyone is busy these days, but let's not lose sight of what actually matters: the connections that ground us, strengthen us, and make us feel like we belong in this vast and unpredictable world.
