At the end of the day, it’s the people in your life that make the biggest difference. Having close relationships with family and friends means you’ve got a solid support system when things get tough. These people celebrate your wins, help you through the lows, and just make life better overall. By putting time and energy into those connections, you’re building something way more meaningful than just good times, you’re building trust, empathy, and a foundation for your mental and physical health.
