"I like to be with people I love. I'm not somebody begging to be alone," Jolie said. "I'm not that person that feels like, 'Oh, I wish I could just be alone so I could have my guilty pleasures.' Because usually my guilty pleasure is being with somebody. I love doing something that makes them happy. That really does make me happy."
Jolie's decision to keep her inner circle tight reflects her desire for privacy and protection for her family. As her six children grow older, she plans to relocate from Los Angeles to provide them with a more peaceful and fulfilling life.
"I'll spend a lot of time in Cambodia," Jolie said, referring to the country where she adopted her eldest son, Maddox. "I'll spend time visiting my family members wherever they may be in the world."
Jolie's experiences have taught her the importance of cherishing close friendships and the enduring power of human connection. Despite the challenges she has faced, she remains optimistic about the future and the bonds that sustain her.
As she prepares for a new chapter in her life, Jolie is confident in the support of her trusted circle and the love that surrounds her. Her resilience and unwavering commitment to those she holds close are a testament to the value of genuine friendships in navigating life's complexities.
