When we are young, we think the amount of people surrounding us makes us who we are, makes us feel important. In truth, some of those people are exactly the ones who want to take our worth away to build themselves up. Keeping people around who support you no matter is what’s important. People who can be true to your face and behind your back are your people. Those people who you thought would have your back are the same ones who will leave you when you’re down, help to make your struggles worse, and treat you like you don’t matter. Choose quality over quantity.
I’m definitely much better at (and prefer) developing few intimate relationships rather than a large number of superficial ones.
