the heart as it is | courage • grief • beauty

Today’s question from Onsite is “Consider your circles of community. How many relationships are in your inner circle? We often only have a few deep and meaningful relationships that belong in this circle. How does yours compare? Do each of these relationships belong here, or are some only relationships you wish were in your inner circle?”

I think I can confidently say at least 4 people are in my inner circle, with one I don’t interact with as often, but the depth of friendship is still there. The other people are my husband, my therapist, and then another friend who lives quite far. Safe to say, my inner circle definitely only has a small handful of people, and this circle has actually become smaller – not because anything myself or friends have done but because of just different life stages. I believe all of these relationships belong here.
