my circle so small i almost cut myself off

[ma-hee-na]

i feel like this is supposed to sound comical but when i think about it, is so real. like with everything going on - life, work, family - just growing up, there’s such little time for having a massive circle. so it will inherently get small but also it’s so easy to not even give time to yourself. when was the last time i hung out with myself? gave her the time of day?
