As we grow up, we realize it becomes less important to have a ton of friends, and more important to have real ones. – Unknown

Since childhood, we have always focused on having a count of the number of friends that we have our own. Well, as we grow up, we change our circle, and that’s how we meet new people, and then again, we lose our contacts with a lot of them.

However, it is important to understand that we never actually require a lot of friends; all we require is to have a couple of them who are real. 

Having a lot of friends on the list would never suffice your needs at the time of crisis.

You may have a lot of friends who will be there to wish you on your birthday and join you at your success party, but is that worth it? You may have a lot of people who will be right there with you in your ups, but you won’t get any of them when you are down, that doesn’t make any sense!

Instead of having too many friends, all we need is to have a few real friends who will be there by our side even if the world turns upside down. These are the friends whom we can trust upon blindly.

When we are young, we have a different conception about having friends, but as we grow up, we start to realize that we may have a lot of friends, but we just have a couple of real ones who will be there to provide us with a shoulder in every hard situation.

These are the people whom we can trust upon and have faith on. You should be lucky enough if you have such people around you, and in case you do, make sure that you aren’t losing them by any chance.
