Know your friends....but most importantly....know yourself. I have 3 good friends, all female. I know them and they know me. I trust them, they trust me. I know what they are capable of, they know what i am capable of. Such is life. Pick and choose accordingly. My best friend and I didn't like each other at first, we got to know each other and bamm!!!! Best friends for 13 years now, been through the lows and highs. She knows me and I know her, we compliment each other quite well, only because we choose to. Know yourself first....then you will have better friends.
