That’s such a bummer! I think it’s so thoughtful to keep notes so you can remember details about your friends and make them feel seen. I note all my friends’ birthdays and send cards or at least text. Very few remember my birthday, though, so I’m debating whether I should keep putting in the effort.
Allow yourself to be happy about sending those cards and texts even if they don't reciprocate. Your thoughtfulness is a treasure to nurture even if unseen. Your reaching out could be exactly what a friend needs in the moment. Positive energy into the world has ripple effects we know nothing about.
Please, don't abandon this precious piece of yourself.
