Dania Hussain - How To Maintain Long Distance Friendship I am Dania Hussain, and in this blog am sharing about long distance friendship. How do you keep going when the only person who knows you well lives thousands of miles away? Here are a few suggestions to help alleviate the discomfort and make the distance seem more manageable... 1. Send random photo messages to each other on the regular: Make the most of your selfie and Snapchat fixation. If your phone's camera roll isn't full of your best friend making some of the world's most hideous looks, then you're not trying hard enough. Plus, wasn't Snapchat created so you could make your best friend giggle from thousands of miles.
2. Start something personal and private that you can both share together: Perhaps you could make a Google doc where you can write to each other in real time. Alternatively, you might start a blog to keep up with your best friend's internet exploits. Making something together will be a fantastic experience, and you'll have something tangible to show for it at the end. And ten years from now, when you're (hopefully) back in the same town and growing old together, you'll be able to look back and have an accurate account of your long-distance friendship.

Video chat often -- even when you have no big "stories" to catch each other up on: To be honest, my best friend and I's video talks occasionally devolve into both of us looking at the screen, making silly expressions, and taking pictures. Sometimes it devolves into a gossip fest, with us discussing folks we haven't seen or heard from in years. 4. In the meantime, stay connected through the little things, like watching the same movie on the same night: Take the live-tweeting principle and apply it to live-messaging. The following is how it works: Choose a movie, watch it at the same time, then text each other your thoughts during the film.
5. Try to keep up to date with her daily life. Yes, even the small stuff: New job offers, new love interests: these are topics that will come up in any talk with your BFF. But don't forget to bring up the less game-changing topics, such as something interesting you saw at work that day or how you can't seem to break away from your current ramen infatuation. Knowing the more insignificant details about one another's days will make you feel as if no one (in the entire world) knows your BFF better than you.
