I was reading somewhere where someone wrote that friendships of childhood and teenage ages were the easiest and were without stress, and I couldn't agree any less. These days, there are so many rules and selfishness around friendships that it's so hard to get in one and stay in one. That's why I just make it a point of duty to cherish all those who are in my life as friends now.
