Quote

I've had the same friends for ten, fifteen years.

I still have the same friends I've had for the last 15 or 20 years.

I have had the same friends since college, although as time has gone on, the daily nature of those relationships has changed, such that it is not daily at all.

Every friendship goes through ups and downs. Dysfunctional patterns set in; external situations cause internal friction; you grow apart and then bounce back together.

Friends confront each other sometimes, and sometimes the friendship lasts, and sometimes it doesn't.

I have the same group of friends I've had since I was three.

I've had the same friends since I was in kindergarten.

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.

Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy.

Sometimes friends move apart from each other for whatever reason.
