Why We Always Need Friends

Friends forever. They are the people we surround ourselves with; the people that brighten our faces. We love them. Sometimes for who they are. Sometimes for what they make us feel. We cannot fully describe why we have tiers of friends. For crying out loud, they are not always the most likable people on the planet. Sometimes we think we can even do better but they are all that we have got. Statistically, people always have utmost three close friends who will remain friends throughout life. The others are just circumstantial. They may have been your playmate, desk mate, roommate, or classmate. In the beginning, you know you are stuck with each other, at least for some years, so it was nice to get make lemonade with the lemon.

With time friendships turn into an investment of sorts. Investments of moments, memories, secrets, confidence and other peripheral but significant shreds of sentiments. There are friends we do not talk to every day, in fact, we can go for months without contact, but when we meet it feels like it was yesterday. The foundation of the friendship runs deep and from it runs an inexhaustible fountain of happiness. There are those people that flash in our minds every day. The ones that make us smile at the reveries we create to color somber moods.
