I used to hate group texts until 3 of us started doing a Wednesday check-in

For years I refused to be in any group chat. Too many notifications and people replying with just thumbs up emojis. Then last January my friend Dana from work suggested a 3 person text where we each share one good thing and one hard thing every Wednesday. At first I rolled my eyes but she said just try it for 4 weeks. After week 3 I noticed I actually looked forward to Wednesday morning. The other two people were real about stuff like job stress and mom guilt. It wasn't shallow catching up. We hit 10 weeks now and I genuinely feel closer to both of them than I do to friends I see in person monthly. Has anyone else found a small routine like this that made a friendship way stronger?

Ten weeks is nothing, that's just the honeymoon phase before somebody gets sick of pretending.
