Connection Is a Human Need — Not Just a Romantic One
While romantic love is a powerful part of life, it is only one thread in the rich fabric of human connection. Friendships, sibling relationships, family ties, and chosen family connections often shape us just as deeply — and sometimes, even more so. These relationships thrive on the same qualities romantic ones do: trust, vulnerability, laughter, support, and shared experience.
100 Days of Togetherness offers a way to nurture those bonds intentionally, regardless of the label.

You Don’t Need to Be in Crisis to Grow Closer
It is a common misconception that you need to wait for a relationship to feel distant or damaged before you invest in reconnecting. But in truth, the most fulfilling relationships are nurtured through everyday care — not just in times of struggle, but in times of calm and closeness too.
That is what makes a practice like 100 Days of Togetherness so powerful. It isn’t designed as a fix for something broken. It is a gentle invitation to stay connected, to be present, and to strengthen the bond you already share — whether it is with a close friend, a sibling, a parent, or anyone whose presence brings meaning to your life.
Think of it the way you might tend to a plant. You don’t wait until it’s wilted to water it. You nourish it a little every day, ensuring it grows strong, vibrant, and full of life. Relationships are much the same. Journaling together isn’t about solving problems — it’s about celebrating the connection you have and keeping it alive through regular, meaningful attention.
By showing up consistently, even in small ways, you create a foundation that can carry you through both joyful times and challenging ones. That’s the real beauty of shared journaling — it’s a quiet, steady act of love and care.

How to Begin — and Who to Begin With
Beginning a shared journaling journey doesn’t require any special occasion or big event. It simply starts with intention. Ask yourself: who do I want to feel closer to? Who in my life deserves more presence, attention, and time?
It might be someone you see every day but rarely connect with on a deeper level — a sibling you grew up with but now barely talk to, a lifelong friend who’s drifted just a bit, or even a parent or adult child you want to understand better. It could also be someone you share space with — a roommate, a co-worker, a cousin — anyone whose relationship you'd like to explore in a more thoughtful and intentional way.
Once you have chosen your journaling partner, take a moment to talk about what this experience could mean for both of you. You don’t need to define every detail upfront, but it helps to agree on a few simple things: when you will write, how often, and whether you will do it in person or virtually.
Maybe you will meet weekly over coffee to share your reflections. Maybe you will each write privately and then exchange thoughts by phone or message. There’s no single “right” way — the key is consistency, curiosity, and care.
And remember, this is not a performance. You don’t need to have the perfect words or profound insights. What matters is your willingness to be present, to listen, and to share. Let it be easy. Let it be real.
Over time, you may be surprised at how much this simple act of shared journaling brings you closer — helping you notice the small moments, appreciate the big ones, and truly witness each other in a way that’s increasingly rare in our fast-paced world.
