# Say “thinking of you” with a little thought

Agreeing that a short picture means “you crossed my mind” can make starting a small connection easier. It need not ask for an immediate reply.

## Agree on how light the message is
You might say, “This just means I thought of you. You don’t need to stop what you’re doing.” That makes a picture feel more like a small gift than another task.

## Leave room for different rhythms
If every picture demands a reply, a simple gesture can become a check-in obligation. Discuss a frequency that feels comfortable to both people. There is no universal daily count that makes a relationship better.

## Say important things directly
A picture cannot fully explain a changed plan, a misunderstanding, or something that needs discussion. Use familiar messages, calls, or face-to-face conversation for those moments. Heyou is being designed to add an expression, rather than replace the communication you already share.
