How to Keep Your Best Friend Close (Even If You Live Miles Apart)

How to Keep Your Best Friend Close (Even If You Live Miles Apart)

Long-distance friendships are real (and real hard).

Your bestie lives in another city, maybe another country. Schedules clash, texts pile up, and suddenly it feels harder to stay close. But distance doesn’t have to mean disconnection.

Why Friendships Fade Over Distance

• Busy schedules mean fewer check-ins.

• Conversations get reduced to quick updates.

• You lose the shared experiences that keep friendships alive.

The Fix: Intentional Fun

Instead of just texting “miss you,” try activities that spark memories and laughter, even from afar:

• Watch the same show and send live commentary.

• Send each other random care packages.

• Play multiplayer games or trivia apps.

• Share playlists or swap weekly “mood songs.”

  And the easiest upgrade? A journal you can both fill out together.

Meet We Did It for the Plot

It’s an interactive, fillable PDF friendship journal with prompts built for chaos, confessions, and main-character energy.

Because it’s digital, you can both type answers at the same time - even on Zoom or FaceTime.

Why It Works

Long-distance doesn’t have to mean low-effort. The secret isn’t more updates - it’s more laughter and shared chaos.

A friendship journal gives you both a reason to show up, answer prompts, and create new inside jokes even when life gets busy. It transforms “catching up” into something fun, intentional, and unforgettable.

💡 We Did It for the Plot works because it doesn’t just keep you talking - it keeps you laughing, confessing, and making memories you’ll actually want to revisit.

Instead of “How’s life?”, you get actual fun - the kind of memories you’ll both remember.
