“Sometimes your friend circle decreases in size, but increases in value.”

Annotation

Meaning of quote by Thought Catalog author Rose White: "Quality over quantity is something that we all need to keep in mind. In high school, I remember that there was so much pressure to have the biggest group of friends; if you didn’t, you just felt like a nobody. Having been part of both big and small circles of friends, it was the smaller ones that felt more meaningful to me. I’m not saying that you can’t have genuine friendships with multiple people; if you do, you’re doing something right! But if you find your inner circle slowly shrinking, it’s not necessarily a bad thing—you are just finding out who is and is not worth being in your life."
