Friend Quote by Anonymous
“People's lives change. To keep all your old friends is like keeping all your old clothes--pretty soon your closet is so jammed and everything so crushed you can't find anything to wear. Help these friends when they need you, bless the happy times when you meant a lot to each other, but try not to feel guilty if new people mean more to you, now.”
