Most siblings have a healthy and strong bond with each other. Growing up together is a magical experience, as anyone who is lucky enough to have siblings will tell you. Of course, that’s not to say it’s all sunshine and roses. Siblings, like any people sharing a common space, will fight with each other from time to time. However, once you’re older you’re in a more comfortable place with each other.

But then one or both of you go to college, and you stop seeing each other every day. If that is something that bothers you, this blog can help you.

Staying in Touch Over Long Distances

Not everyone loses touch with their siblings when they step out of the nest. But everyone experiences a change in how they used to communicate with a brother or a sister. Think about it this way. When you’re young, you know your sibling is going to be home after school. You may not be the best of friends sharing every tiny detail, but they are still someone you can lean on for support. But once one or both of you are done with high school, suddenly, things change. This will hit you the hardest when you’re on that cross-country flight, trying to hold back tears as you message a sibling using in-flight Wi-Fi.

However, moving out of the home to different cities, states, or even countries does not mean there needs to be a distance between you and your siblings. Many people struggle with feelings of loneliness and unfamiliarity with their new lives and speaking to someone familiar, like an older sibling who has been in the same position can help considerably. This might have been tough even just a few decades ago, but technology has made things easier. Stay in touch with your siblings over long distances with stuff like:

  1. Binging TV Shows Together
  2. Playing Video Games Together
  3. Frequent Video Chats to Catch Up
  4. Sharing High-Quality Photos and Videos

Read on for more.

1. Binging TV Shows Together

Nothing makes for a strong bond like shared interests. Unless you are poles apart, you and your siblings probably have similar tastes in TV shows. For instance, if you both like Game of Thrones or Chernobyl you can both still watch it despite not being together. You can always discuss the latest episode you both watched the next day. This will give you a good conversation point for an enthusiastic discussion that lasts longer than the usual two-minute conversation. With streaming services like Netflix working comfortably well on entry-level internet tiers like Cox Internet Starter, this is something virtually anybody can do.

2. Playing Video Games Together

Video games are a fun activity that you can both indulge in, even if you aren’t in the same city, state, or country. You don’t have to play a hardcore PC game with a big learning curve like Dota2. Certain virtual reality products have changed gaming into an immersive experience. Imagine playing something simple like a zombie first-person shooter in VR with your sibling at your back! Many would say it is even better than going to laser-tag with siblings, which is something.

3. Frequent Video Chats to Catch Up

Playing games and watching TV shows together is all well and good, but sometimes nothing beats a good face-to-face conversation. Apps like Facetime, Whatsapp, Messenger, and many others allow you to video call people for free! You don’t have to worry about long-distance charges like older generations. Many even find that it is easier to video call a sibling than to visit them, even if they are in the same city. Video calls are worth even the occasional Cox internet issues if you can share precious moments with the people you love.

4. Sharing High-Quality Photos and Videos

The internet is a convenient tool, allowing you to do use Cox Bill Pay or order food online. But one of the biggest changes the internet brought to our lives is the ability to share moments from our lives with people. Thanks to social media (and of course, better smartphone cameras), it is possible to share things like your child’s first words, celebrating a virtual birthday, and even funny moments with your own little family. Involve your siblings in your life using tools like DropBox and Google Drive to make an archive of your life’s best moments.

I’ve been a freelance writer for over 8 years now witting almost entirely online for many notable websites, and businesses. My educational background in media Studies, and Journalism has come in handy. It has given me an extensive base from which to process and tackle many topics. Since the landscape is always changing, I make sure to keep up with the latest trends. It is quite different from when I first started. The competition is fiercer, and for many it may be overwhelming. However, I thrive under pressure, and so I don’t see myself doing anything else.
