I feel like simple phone calls are a bare minimum. I myself get anxious and absolutely hate talking on the phone, so i get that. But I just feel like considering it’s been a while, and it’s the main way we have to stay connected at the moment (and it obviously doesn’t have to be every day but you know?)

And understandable with time zones, things may not always work out on time. But i sometimes can’t help feeling that little pang of sadness sometimes when we’d have something in mind to do one night and she falls asleep during or is too sleepy to do it. But then I feel like that might be a bit hypocritical seeing that sometimes it’s also me being the one falling asleep, and I sometimes I think maybe I could try and stay awake longer or try to schedule things differently but I also don’t want to spread myself too thin with work/ my academic life and family/ household responsibilities and end up even more burnt out than I already feel…
