I’m acting like someone who just won $100 million — no new friends.

I keep bumping into people who want to befriend me.

However, I am not currently accepting new friendship applications. If I don’t already know you, it won't be easy to become a friend of mine.

I am not even accepting friends of friends’ invitations. No one can tell me, “He is a good person.” Oh, I will smile and introduce myself, but the entire time, I am thinking, “Do our values match?”

I don’t want to take the time to find out if they do not. It is too risky. I am protecting my joy in uncertain times.

I will support my community of known entities. Yes, I will miss out on some great people, but that’s okay. I’m prepared to take that risk.

I am working to live my best life.
