A few REAL friends are all I need. 4/18

A few REAL friends are all I need. – When it comes to relationships, focus on quality over quantity.  Spend your time with friends who love and appreciate you, and who encourage you to improve in healthy and exciting ways.  They are the ones who make you feel more alive, and not only embrace who you are now, but also embrace and embody who you want to be, unconditionally.  Spend more time with those who make you smile and less time with those who you feel pressured to impress. These people make your day a little bit brighter simply by being in it.  It is better to have one true friend than all the acquaintances in the world.

This is a little challenging for me right now because I feel like I'm in a place where I'm going to be doing a lot of exploring and expanding in my life. This means that I will likely meet lots of new people. This won't mean that my friends I've always had won't go away. And I will confess that as I was driving home last night, I started thinking about the people that are really important to me and paying attention to that...keeping my energy where it counts despite exploring the world more.
