Thoughts on the Validity of Friendships

 I keep my friends like this: If they are, in any way, what I would like to be like, I keep them. They are my motivation, my pride, my love. Once they show an ugly side, like close mindedness, or something I vow to never come into my life, we tend to grow apart, whether I like it or not. Fools will be fools. Don't let them fool you twice.  And it's the friends that you can joke around with about anything that are worth keeping forever. :)
