A friend in need is a friend indeed.
It doesn't really matter how many friends I have or how popular I am. After all, it's the quality of the friendships that matter the most.
Who cares if I have so many friends and yet none of them will be there for me when I needed them. Maybe that's the reason why I cherish my friendships so much, because I know they are the ones who really take me to their heart and I can't afford to lose them.
So, please be treasure your friendships. If they leave you, just let them go. There's no point of pleading them back, after all, time will tell who are your true friends.
