Friend For Life?
There are times in your life when you wonder how many of the people you converse with and are in constant contact with daily are actually your true friends.
Looking at a plaque that was made for me describing my character, the description under "Relationships" reads 'When it comes to friends, only 'true blue' need apply.' And it is at times like these that I realise how true that statement is.
It is alright to have high expectations of your friends, so you know who you can classify as 'true' friends. However, what happens when the people you consider as your friends don't meet those expectations?
On the verge of leaving the country to study abroad, I've found myself continuously assessing my relationships, deciding who I will still be in contact ten years down the line. And there is a certain sadness when you realise that of a basketful of friends, there aren't more than the fingers on one hand that you can place on this Friend For Life list.
