Yesterday my best friend said that he was so proud of himself that he had way more friends than me; it is true that I just have a few friends, five or six or so. I am not good at maintaining a relationship with men, I acknowledge that even my best friends which I own less connect with me than other people, I guess. However, I am so glad that they are still remember me and it seems that our relationship are strong enough to pass the time, maybe you will ask why I am so confident with myself. The reason of that is like mind.

I have met a lot of people in my life, classmates, schoolmates or others. Some of them we share a precious experience, however, it doesn't mean that something you guys have in common would bring you a good friend. We are changing all the time, our body grow mature or old, our mind become more socialized, even the value of judging a friend changes, too. So it is hard to have a person who can company with you in the next of your life, which I regard as a gift from god. I don't expect to have many friends in my life and spend most of my time maintaining that relationship, I just want the relationship between us follows the step of time and allow them to change, keeping or going. And I still believe that a true friendship can stand any challenge.

How many friends are enough in life? It is a tough question. Maybe one, maybe hundreds; that depend upon what you want from them and how you feel when you stay with them. Some people, like me, when they are alone they don't feel lonely, even they can find something fun of life which they don't have when they have friends around them; but for some people, staying alone would be a tormented time.

In my opinion, there is no limitation to have friends, but I think, to find out why you want to make friends with them and how they influence you should be considered seriously in your life; because a good friend will give you the positive energy and some supports or consolation in the face of life's hardships.
