Discover quotes that capture the essence of true friendship and express your appreciation for your besties.
One of the most important relationships you can form in life is friendship. Unlike family, where you form bonds from birth, you get to choose your friends. A stranger can become family, and a simple shared interest can grow organically into a strong bond.
As we grow up and life changes, we tend to lose some friends and gain new ones. While we may mourn those we've lost, we should remember that some people are not meant to be in our lives for long. Each phase brings new friends who support and stand by us.
