You don't find them, they find you.

You can't ask for them, you can't look for them, you can't arrange for them... you just have to be lucky.

You may be rich, but if you are a snob... you may be pretty, but if you are a bitch.... you may be wise, but if you are arrogant... you won't find a single of them around you. They are a gift, welcome them. They are rare, cherish them. They come at their will, stay with them. You don't need to call them frequently to keep in touch, but when you call, make sure you don't do it just for purpose. You don't have to go out of your way to help them, but if they mean something true to you, nothing will seem out of your way. You don't need to remember their birthdays, because you are not restricted to one single day in the whole year to wish them.

They are not just people around you, who you know... who you talk to, share a drink with, or ask for help. But you can find one in everyone... or find none.

There wouldn't usually be a lot of them in your life, they would be a few.....

don't lose them.
