Sometimes a meme sent at midnight is someone’s way of saying “I thought about you.”

Affection usually travels in disguise. Plenty of people find it hard to say they miss you, so it comes out as a random link, a video you would find funny, a screenshot of nothing much. The content is not really the point. The point is that late at night, out of everyone, you were who came to mind.

Notice who does this for you and answer, even with one word. And when somebody crosses your mind this week, send the thing instead of scrolling past it. Small signals are what keep a friendship alive between the big moments.
