The Good Friend

Throughout life we let people get close to us. Sometimes it's an amazing  experience that enriches and edifies you throughout your life. Sometimes it's a toxic experience that makes it hard for you to trust and ever let people in. Friends share in our innermost moments. They are there in our hopes and aspirations. They reflect our beliefs and identity. They are the ones who make your memories and dreams that much more valuable. They are the stones in the pavement of your soul. Unfortunately, sometimes that road is fraught with peril.
