"True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance." –Henry David Thoreau

I have learned a lot about friendship during the last few weeks. I have learned that even the people in your life that you think are the most reliable can turn their back on you in an instant without any logical reason. I have learned that no matter how hard you try to resolve things, some things still may not be resolved. I have learned that sometimes, you have to go through life with mystery, not really knowing what is going on. I have learned that the people that have to convince you that you can trust them are often the ones that you cannot trust in life. I have learned that some friends are opportunists, taking what they can get for now and then moving on when something better comes. I have learned that friends sometimes wear masks, and you are unable to see their true identity until conflict arises. I guess trust is sometimes overratted.
