When you ask a friend where they want to go to dinner, they'll choose your favorite restaurant. A friend knows where your panic button is, but never pushes it. Friends can tell the truth without hurting you. Friends take very good care of your hopes and dreams. A vacation with a friend is not only more fun, but also less money.
Friends can turn arguments into laughter.
When you have doubts about yourself, call your friends, because they'll have confidence in you. When a friend moves away, part of your history goes with them. Seeing an old friend makes you feel whole. With old friends you can remember your youth without trying to recapture it.
