Thoughts on Friendship

I learned some time ago that I cannot be friends with everybody. From that time on, I chose who I wanted to keep and who I didn’t want to. Why? Because I know I cannot please everyone and I don’t want to try too hard anymore. It’s a good feeling to be with people I call friends, where I can just be myself. I could say or do anything without being cautious that I might be criticized. I know nobody’s perfect, there isn’t a perfect friend as well. But once you know a person is your friend, you'll know each other’s imperfection and accept them. That’s why I choose my friends, and I just hope that those I chose to be friends also choose me.
