Friend, what does that word even mean?

As a child, I don't remember having many friends. I played blocks with my brother. I built forts with my cousins. I cooked with my mom. When I got to elementary school I wanted desperately to have a best friend. Everyone had one. I had this same desire in middle school, high school and college. I didn't have one best friend. And for the other friends, I called a lot of people friend but it wasn't necessarily reciprocated.

At this point, I know a lot of people but how many friends do I actually have?$/5 does the word friend actually mean? How many people could I actually depend on if I truly needed "saving"?

I have a handful of people on that list. But every time I need a friend that list gets a bit smaller.

Be a friend to your friends. You never know when they need it.
