Last year, I learned that long-distance friendships don’t depend on extremely long, meaningful, and deep messages or phone calls. They depend on quick, real-life snippets. This type of friendship thrives thanks to tiny specs of “You’re a part of my day-to-day” and “I’m thinking about you,” like when I make a matcha latte and think ofJúlia Navarro who sometimes works in cafés and orders matcha or chai lattes.
