You and Jules: nine years, 52,316 messages and only 41 days of silence 🫶

Marco’s number

41days with no message in nine years

I have read every message between you and Jules. All 52,316 of them, nine years’ worth, from the first “ok so” to last night’s. Most friendships are a group chat with occasional side messages. This one is a daily newspaper with two staff writers.

I have some notes. Most of them are compliments. A few of them are about the pigeon.

Card 1 of 7
What this friendship runs on
It runs on two words: “ok so”. 2,214 conversations open with them, and every one of them is followed by a story that needed telling right now. The rest of the fuel is voice notes, screenshots of other people’s messages for review, and a running commentary on Gerald, the pigeon who lives on Jules’s balcony.

Days with no message in nine years
Nine years is about 3,300 days. You two have gone quiet on 41 of them. The longest gap was six days, when you were camping with no signal, and the first message after it was Jules asking whether you were dead or just outdoors.
Card 2 of 7
Who carries it
Almost perfectly split. Jules has sent 26,412 messages to your 25,904, and starts 54% of conversations. You start fewer, but you are the one who remembers: birthdays, interview dates, the name of the person Jules was dating in 2019 and why it ended. Jules brings the news. You bring the follow-up.
how did the interview go??
wait is this the same Ollie
