“Three ways to think about relationships:

1. Deepening. You know each other better this year than last.
2. Holding. Steady state, but mostly comfortable, familiar, and unchanged.
3. Drifting. Contact is fading and the relationship is starting to slide.

The point isn't to judge where you're at, but to notice what you need next. Which relationship is due for a deepening period? Which one are you okay letting drift for now?”
