How do you stay emotionally connected with loved ones when you’re busy or far away?

Hi everyone, we’re building a mental-health app and thinking a lot about how to improve the relationship with loved ones. And real challenges people face when they can’t be physically close to them.

For many of us, life gets busy. We live in different cities, time zones — or we just don’t have enough hours in the day. Still, we want to maintain that emotional closeness.

So here’s what we’d like to learn from you:

• When you don’t have much time or you’re far away, what do you usually do to stay connected with your family or close friends?

• Do you send photos, quick messages, emojis, voice notes, or something else?

• What small gesture makes you (or them) feel closest — even from a distance?

• What kind of digital “space” or tool would you find helpful to keep that emotional bond alive when life gets busy?

We’re curious about your real habits, ideas, and preferences ❤️

Thanks a lot for sharing.
