Friends

I don't think that anyone really knows how much their friends come to mean to them until they are faced with the truth of a situation. Sometimes, I wonder how much of this time I spend devoting to my friends is time they will ever give back. Like... pouring money into a well... you never see it again. I'm constantly being reminded why my only goal in the world used to be achieving the highest marks in my class. But the world itself always complicates things. Is it really necessary to have friends? I think not. However nice it may be, the truth of it is, all friends will disappoint you in the end.
