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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's healthy to have older friends. You go, 'Look, I'm younger than them!' That's always the nice thing, if you can be the youngest one in the room at times. Like if you're always the oldest one in the room, you'll start to feel like the oldest person in the world. So get older friends, because they're cool. Get cool older friends.
When I see friends from school I think they've all grown old and I've stayed the same.
I think when you're younger, you need to socialize and be with people your own age.
I keep my old friends, and get older with them, but push young. It's good to be surrounded by kids, because they keep you young.
As we grow up, it feels like you should either invite people into your life or not. There should be fewer and fewer instances of friends you 'can only take in small doses.'
I most earnestly advise you, again and again, love, honor, and obey your parents. Friends like them, you need not expect to find in this world.
Don't make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.
As you learn who you are, you can better surround yourself with friends who make you a better person, and that sometimes only happens when you disassemble old relationships.
A lot of women, when they're young, feel they have very good friends, and find later on that friendship is complicated. It's easy to be friends when everyone's 18.
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.
