Anniversary posts are nice. Showing up on the random days in between matters more.

Marking an occasion is easy, because the date does the work of reminding you. The days with no label are the ones that reveal what a relationship actually is, since nothing external is prompting the effort. Consistency on a Tuesday carries information that a beautifully written tribute cannot.

Pick a person and do something unprompted for them this week, on a day that means nothing. A call, a lift, turning up where you said you would. Keep the occasions, just stop letting them stand in for the rest of it.
