Systems to stay consistent with relationships

Welcome to my tiny spin out after reading how relationships are like plants and need all different kinds of care and feeding. Hi :)

I am so grateful for my friends but I don’t think they know it as much as I’d like. I’m really not good at showing up consistently. Out of sight out of mind gets me, and responding to texts is a whole mess sometimes. I’ve never been good at birthdays and I’m amazing at gifts but almost never during times when gifts are expected by society.

Do you have ways to make it easier to intentionally nurture relationships and show your people they’re valued (even if you suck at responding to texts)?
