I enjoy being one of those friends too, and I'm lucky enough to have a few friends who are just as dependable. We can be friendly, objective, and honest with each other. Technology really helps when we’re not in the same place; it’s hard for me to imagine what my situation would be if this were 30 years ago when it wasn’t as easy to keep in touch with friends. I don’t have many friends where I currently live since I moved away from where I went high and college.
