You call instead of text
It’s far too easy for things to get misconstrued and miscommunicated over text. Via text, people read into everything from capital letters to ellipses, creating fights where they never existed. But on the phone, both you and the person on the other end of the line are able to hear the intonations of one another’s voices, and there is no punctuation to be overanalyzed. Plus, taking the time to call someone shows them that they’re worth the extra effort, and hearing the voice of a good friend will put a smile on anyone’s face.
