Your circle is not a museum. You’re allowed to rearrange it.

Friendships are often held in place by their history rather than by anything current. A long record with somebody feels like an obligation, and the length of it can keep you inside something that stopped being good years ago, as though time already spent had to be honoured forever. Nothing about the past requires the arrangement to stay fixed.

Look at who your hours go to and ask which of it is chosen and which is inherited. Move some of them toward people who are good for you now. Rearranging is not a judgment on anyone’s whole life.
