I still have some of my best friends. Not all of them though. Some, I found out later, were just friends of convenience. We were after the same shit, and 'friendship' was loosely based.
I still have one from from grade school, when grade, I am not sure. I wanna say 5th or 6th. Then another from 7th or 8th. Another from right after high school/first year of college. Lived with him for a time as well. So that would have been around '90. Then I have probably my closest friend of the bunch in my old college roommate. I've known him since '94.
Between all of them, they are all like brothers. We would do anything for one another, and have. From helping, to loaning large sums of money, to letting them crash on the couch, some petty crime, clubbie clubs for years, parties, and so on.
Plenty of good times.
I am one of those people who is lucky I guess. I found the right group. However, I am loyal to a fault, and tend to remain that way once you are 'inner circle'. Just to get to that point, male or female, is a task. So once you are in, it's like a club I guess.
Which is not to say you can't be discarded. There are some friends of convenience long gone.
