You don't have to have anything in common with people you've known since you were five. With old friends, you've got your whole life in common.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is a maxim of old that among themselves all things are common to friends.
Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. The older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.
The mere process of growing old together will make our slightest acquaintances seem like bosom friends.
Old friends are best.
I still have the same friends I've had for the last 15 or 20 years.
I do have many of the same friends I grew up with. Most I've known since we were three or four years old! I have made new friends as well.
One of the hardest aspects of this protracted public persona is not knowing others as well as they feel they know me. It's a rather clumsy feeling actually; to not know someone who acts as though you're old friends.
I've had the same friends since I was in kindergarten.
I have lots of friends. I mix with all sorts of people, of all generations.
When I see friends from school I think they've all grown old and I've stayed the same.
