Friendship is indeed an essential aspect of our lives. We make friends every day and everywhere, and sometimes we do not even remember how it began, but we can enjoy the benefits of being close friends with others. And a good and rewarding friendship often brings us happiness, joy, and peace. As humans, whenever we seem to be in trouble or when we encounter sad events in our lives, one aspect we often look to find comfort and peace is in our friends, also, when we encounter beautiful experiences, joyous moments, and sweet surprises we run or rush as fast as we can to share same with our friends.
This is why we must do everything possible to maintain and keep friendships, especially good ones, as this is the most challenging thing to do after making a friend because true friendship is not maintained in a vacuum.
Now, when it comes to maintaining and growing our friendship, we must do so correctly, as one or multiple wrong moves, as the case may be, may destroy this vital aspect of our lives. Doing it the right way means that we must be the best we can be, and to do this, we must show our friends our best qualities and a loving attitude.
We can do this by sending them Good Morning, Good Day, and Goodnight messages that will constantly resonate in their hearts to encourage them and keep them thriving. You need to be aware that doing this will cost you something. It could cost you time, energy, or resources. So you need to be prepared and willing to give one or all of these when the need arises.
Whether you are just a few blocks away or far apart, let your goodnight message be the last thing they feel before falling asleep. Let it be a gentle reminder that they are not alone and that you are always thinking about them, caring for them, and ready to bear their burden, and looking forward to hearing and seeing them in the morning. This gesture may seem simple and small for friendship, but the love behind it is endless, immeasurable, and evoking.
Always Personalize Your Messages
Personalized messages will make her feel warmer, and your message will be authentic and genuine, showing that you truly know and appreciate her.
Use her name or nickname, or a simple endearment: This is unique and instantly adds warmth and familiarity.
Mention shared memories or jokes: Referencing something only the two of you understand brings authenticity and will create some special kind of bond between you two.
Match her personality: Is she playful, deep, spiritual, or sentimental? Match your tone to hers.
Keep it simple and precise: Did she have a tough day? Is something exciting happening tomorrow? Tailor your message to the moment.
Example:
“Good night, Dear Ella, remember our midnight talks in college? Hope you dream of something as funny as our pizza prank night. Sleep tight!”
