...true happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and choice... Samuel Johnson

I've been thinking the past couple of days, uh-oh, that I love my friends, that I am thankful that I grew up with 3 sisters and maybe because of this I never felt the need for more than 1 or 2 close friends. There was a time when I used to get bothered cause someone would make a comment like "where are all your friends?" or some nonsense about the lack thereof, but not anymore. Maybe because I've realized that it's been by choice, I can be picky about who is in that circle. The older I get, I appreciate it, I've been able to focus more on the relationships that were worth cultivating. I still struggle to not make a big deal about a little broken promise here and there, but unfortunately, as much as life has thrown this way I still take those closest to me for granted...I need to work harder on letting them take me for granted too, it's only fair.
