I reconnected with a friend. For a short period of time we lived in the same city, met up and became friends, then they moved away and contact died off. After some 3 years of minimal contact, I reached out. Timing must have been “right”, they told me they were having a hard time. I wasn’t doing great myself. We randomly decided to share memes. We religiously shared at least one meme a day, every day for almost a year. It wasn’t much, but it got us to find out more about each other’s sense of humor and helped both of us out. Now, we are doing better, we voice chat every month or so and are relatively close. I’m one of the few people knowing of their personal problems, they were between the first to know about my personal news. We still live very far away from each others, but that seems less important.
