What's the last time someone asked you how you slept?
Not "how's it going?" Not "what's up?"
How. You. Slept.
I noticed this last week. My friend from Gaza texted me at 7am: "ยฟDid you sleep well?"

Did you sleep well?
That's it. No agenda. No favor coming. Just care.
๐ค And I realized: nobody asks me that. Ever.
Everyone asks "how's work?" "how's the project?" "how's life?"
Nobody asks about my sleep.
The Greeks had a word for this kind of friendship: ฮฆฮนฮปฮฏฮฑ - Philia.
Not the friendship of convenience. Not networking.
The friendship that notices you're tired before you say it.
Aristotle: "A friend is another self."
Another self knows you need rest before you need advice.
๐๏ธThe Stoics knew: Real care is in the details.
Marcus Aurelius didn't ask his friends about their victories.
He asked if they were eating. If they were resting.
Not because it's polite. Because it matters.
Your turn:
When's the last time someone asked you about your sleep, your rest, your body - not your productivity?
One sentence. That's it.
And if nobody has... I'm asking now: How did you sleep last night?
I'll read every response. ๐
Imperfect. Tired. Caring. ๐๐ฆ
