A friend is a gift you give yourself.

True friendship is hard to find, so when you do find it, cherish it. 

The amount of time you have known someone should not be an indicator as to how good of a friendship you have. You can be friends with someone for several years, and they can become strangers in minutes or on the other hand, you can meet someone today and he/she becomes your best friend for the rest of your adult life.

That is why you have to treat every single person who walks into your life with respect, kindness and sincerity because you can never really know what role that person is meant to have in your life.

Many will walk right out, some might be temporary but others might be forever.
- No fretting about the ones who were temporary; if you had to think back on the times you spent with them (the good and the bad) you will find that at the end of the day they helped you or taught you something along the way.

So here's to new beginnings, new friends and new relationships!
