I can't be doing with high maintenance or unnessecarily demanding friends, but I will always be there when a friend need me.

My very best friends are ones from childhood and when we meet up it's like we were never apart.

It isn't necessarily the amount of contact that defines a friendship but loyalty and support. I've also come to accept the inevitability that not all friendships stand the test of time and, often, I am the one to blame for that. Thought provoking post.
