Yeah.

And, you know, I had to take account for that because it got me unfocused on what's important, which is me and the circle.

Because, you know, the people in the circle benefit from me, but I benefit from them as well.

And I wasn't benefiting from just taking care of everybody.

So, yeah.

So for me, it was something in the past five years, all the things that I've been going through and learning about myself, I was like, you know what?

I still love this guy.

I still love this girl, and I still am friends with this person and this family member, but I can't connect with them the way I normally would.

I'll be here for them, but I cannot hang out.

I cannot have a conversation that doesn't require me lending my space and my time to you.

So, yeah, to that, yeah, I just learned about circles and how to maneuver.

Yeah.

And figure them out.

So I'm brand new to it, but I'm very well versed in it.

And when you accepted me into yours, I was just like, yo, I appreciate that.

No, totally.

And I've had some of those in my life.

You know, so so when I asked you that question, it was one of, of course, being humble.

But I also was taking accountability for the times that I thought I was being mentored.

The times I thought I was being protected, the times that I thought that someone had my best interest or the interest of people in general.
