"Here's the truth: I don't prioritize friendship in this season. Not because I don't like you. Not because you're not amazing, but because my time is my most expensive currency. And if I give you any of it, you're a big freaking deal."
"I poured years into building this life - the family I dreamed of, the work that lights me up. And now that I'm here, I just want to be in it, fully, and between homeschooling five kids, running a business I love, and building a marriage I'm proud of, my free minutes are rare. And I guard them like gold."
A homeschooling mother of five prioritizes her family, marriage, and a business she built over cultivating outside female friendships. Limited free minutes prompt careful allocation of time and strict standards for friendships. Friend criteria center on whether a relationship makes life better rather than busier. The mother feels fulfilled by her children, husband, and work and considers those relationships her core social circle. She treats time as a valuable resource and intentionally protects it to sustain the life and roles she invested years in creating.
