I think humans have finite capacity. Sure, a human’s ability to love is limitless; however I’m finding that quality diminishes with quantity. I can either have some relationships I build deeply into, or many relationships that are shallow. Some research suggests that one can have about five close relationships that are actually strong. I think it is noble to want to build deep meaningful relationships with everyone you meet, but in my opinion, also unrealistic. As quantity increases, quality decreases. Some people collect stamps or coins. Some people collect Christmas ornaments or yoga poses. Some people collect relationships. They flow into these relationships when it best suits their needs and out of them when another relationship is more sparkly or the first has become difficult or tiresome. Intention: I will be more mindful about my relationships. I will consider, identify, and build into my marble jar (Brene Brown) people. I will not collect people and overshare in an attempt to build false strong relationships. I’m not going to invest as much time, energy, or effort into people collectors trying to collect me.
