Friends

Because you have begun reading this article, I want to tell you something or rather, ask you: who is your friend or who are your friends? Why did you choose these ones and not others instead? You need them or they need you? Do you see them to be the same friends when you are sad, as they are when you are happy? Because, in my case, it is different.

Just think: you and I will never have something in common or will be close, if we both like cake. But, let us say that we both hate being in the center of everyone's
