STEP ONE Draw a small circle and in that circle write your initial.
STEP TWO Draw a slightly larger circle around your circle and put the initial of your truest confidant. The one person you bare almost all of your soul too.
STEP THREE Draw a slightly larger circle around that and continue this process until you have reached a circle you can no longer put an initial, until there isn't a person left that comes to mind that truly, genuinely knows you on some capacity.
STEP FOUR In these circles put the date of birth or age of these people.
STEP FIVE Darken out the circle of the person that will pass first. Repeat until you have reached a point where there are only the people your age remain.
STEP SIX Look at the circles that remain and where they are. Ask yourself why they are placed where they are. Why you don't have them closer. Look how circles seem to have become more spaced out and notice how few circles you may have left around you.
