A friend is someone who knows you completely and understands you..Someone from within or outside your family can be your friend.
Most people confuse people around them as friends..Humans are unique beings, we are gods of our own..The power of deception is one thing we all have in us..
Pay more attention to those few that would stick there necks out for you, that would discomfort themselves to comfort you.
Don't force friendship, let it happen
