I seem to be decent at keeping friends that I made during my years of junior high. We still communicate, and hang out around a weekend per month.

A good amount of people had to go, though. Toxic relationships can make or break you!

However, I need to branch my relationships out by a good margin. As my interests broaden, I need to increase my audience my desire to learn more, and yearning for relationships in which I can act more of the best version of myself. Not to mention fostering more sustainable relationships for in case something drastic happens, and vice versa. I seem to realize that I cannot do everything by myself in an effective manner without paying a great deal of quality time away from more important matters of life. It also seems to help when you have someone you completely trust around upon realization that I have lived in my head for too long.

As the saying goes, "show me your friend, and I will show you your future".
