friendship

You may have hundreds of friends, and you may have 2 friends. It really depends on your perspective. Sometimes the friends you know the longest are the most vile people you know. Sometimes the random stranger that does one small thing for you brightens up your day in a way no one else ever has. Sometimes a friend that has not been a good friend will surprise you and be a good friend again. Sometimes you make friends through physical proximity. Sometimes through a mutual hobby. Sometimes by random chance. Sometimes by uncontrollable forces. It really doesn't matter how you classify them. Whether they are just acquaintances or your BEST friend. In the end, all that matters is that sometimes your friends will be there for you, and sometimes they are going to burn you. Either way you need to appreciate them, for when you don't have anyone to appreciate anything with, you cannot achieve happiness. So be thankful of those who smile with you, even if you don't feel that they have been a great friend recently. Be happy to be alive and for having other people to appreciate life with. And make as many friends as you can, for at least one of them will be there to pick you up when you need it most.
