Friendship is overrated. In fact, I’m considering losing a few more! 🍻
You have actual friends?
Nah, my circle of close friends is bigger than that, and my circle of regular friends is even bigger. Not a single person from work made either of those lists, though.

Just make sure you have bandwidth to support/ connect with them the same way you want support/ connection.

I usually only have one best friend at a time. Then I have 6 or so more I would really enjoy spending time with if we can cross geographic and time barriers. And then I have a lot of people I’d go grab a meal with if I’m in town but not super close to. Works for me.
