Its so important. Every time I randomly think of someone I always text them and tell them that I miss them and describe exactly what I was thinking, or exactly what I miss about them. It’s one of my favorite things to do because imagine getting a text from a past friend out of the blue that says they miss this quirky thing about you. Hearing “I miss you” is better than “how have you been” or even “I love you” in my opinion–its more genuine. Love is often a continual state but when you say “I miss you” its something special about that moment in time, it connects you with the person in a magical way. Often times I’ll say it and the other person will be shocked because they were just thinking about me too.
