My friends mean the world to me. But we don't talk or see each other as often as we'd like. They've been there for me through all my trials and tribulations, even though we don't communicate that often. I know that makes no sense, but I suppose the relationship that I have with my friend's, aren't like most.
I can count the amount of close friends on less than one hand. Those are the people I trust with my life. They're the people that will be my shoulder to cry on and will be completely honest with me, no matter what the outcome. I have a lot of friends, but I wouldn't share with all of them my secrets. I guess my life isn't 'normal', hence the strange relationships that I have with people, including my friends, but it's my kind of normal.
I think there are many kinds of friends - ones you socialise with, ones that you can have a heart to heart with, or ones that you do everything with. I have a mixture of all, and I love them all!
