Have you ever gotten a message from a friend or loved one that made everything around you melt away, like a really good hug? So, if you’re physically separated from someone or experiencing social isolation, I’ve compiled a list of text messages you can send to make them feel loved, no matter how far away they are.

• I am happy to listen if you want to talk.
• Seeing you was the highlight of my day.
• Thanks for trying me with this, I’m sure it’s tough to talk about it.
• I just want to let you know I am thinking of you.
• Let me know that you make it home safely.
• Just want you to know that I am here for you.
• It’s not your fault, I hope you know that.
• I miss you. Hope you’re doing well.
• Text me when you reach home safely.
