Just recently, my group of friends and I had a small get together at a friend’s house. We planned it weeks in advance because of everyone’s diverse scehdule. The purpose of us getting together is to catch up on everyone’s busy lives. Some people may have closer bonds than others, but we are all still good friends. We get together not only to talk about our happenings, but to also share laughs and delicious cupcakes. The greatest part is, if one of us have a problem and need to let it out, we are there for one another. Without judging or critizing, we sit and listen; then lend our support. It’s an amazing thing what we have. And if I haven’t told my friends recently, I love you and appreciate you guys.

“Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.”
