Has your idea of what makes a good friend changed as you’ve gotten older?

Absolutely. When I was younger, I measured friendship by how often we talked, hung out, or shared the same hobbies. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to value deeper qualities. A good friend is someone who respects boundaries, keeps confidences, shows up when it matters, and accepts me as I am. Life has taught me that real friendship isn’t about constant contact. It’s about trust, mutual support, and knowing that even after time apart, the connection remains strong. Quality matters much more than quantity.
Lovely reflection! I totally agree with you, a real friendship is about trust and mutual support, and stays alive in our heart even when there’s distance. ☺️👍
Yes, it took me some time to realize that.
Me too. ☺️
I agree, I’ll take quality over quantity every time!
