I don't need a big circle anymore. Life taught me that a small, genuine one feels so much safer. I just want the people who actually want to be in my life- the ones who show up without being asked, who love my kids like they're their own, who give because their heart is built that way. A small, loyal, caring circle will always mean more to me than a crowd full of half-present people. At the end of the day, it's never been about the number of people around me-it's about love, consistency, and people who truly show up. I'll choose a few real souls over a hundred empty connections every single time.
