I had two magnificently long phonecalls today, both almost an hour long, while driving to Stellebosch and back. Before getting in the car I put my headphones in and can then chat during the commute.<\/p>\n

The first call was with my mom, and we caught up on news and chatted about plans for the coming months. I often use long drives as opportunities for catch ups with her, and they make me feel great.<\/p>\n

The second was with one of my best friends, Jess. We realised we hadn’t spoken in a few weeks and so managed to sneak in a call. Which ended up being 53min long. We spoke about work, relationships, mental health, Portugal and life. It made my heart so warm to speak to her again.<\/p>\n

As life becomes more complex, people move around the world and we have less time for friends, it’s important to make some space for the relationships that matter.<\/p>\n

So I’m going to aim to sneak in a few more calls whenever I get the chance. It’s much better than listening to the radio \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
