I stopped texting my sister updates and called her once a week instead after she said one thing in March | Conversations That Changed Me

My sister lives in Phoenix and we used to text like 40 times a day, just little stuff, memes, whatever. Back in March she called me out of nowhere and said she liked the memes but she never knows how I'm really doing. So we tried one real call every Sunday at 7 instead. The calls felt weird at first, lots of dead air, but by week 3 she told me stuff she'd never text, like how she's scared about her job. Texts are fine for jokes but they are terrible for real talk. Has anyone else switched from texting someone to actually calling, and did it stick?
