Most of your friends aren't really your friends.
The script — as said out loud
Most of your friends aren't really your friends. They're just along for the ride when it's fun, convenient, valuable, and they'll be gone when it's none of those things. The real friends are the people who are there for you when you have nothing to offer in return, when you're holding it together by a loose thread, when you're bankrupt, when your business collapses, when all of the things are down and out. There are a few people who are going to be there for you in those moments, and those people are the real ones that you need to hold close. And being that to someone else is the fastest way to ensure that you have that in your own life. Yes.
