A true friend will have your back forever.

a one-way street, with you doing all the giving and reaching out.

We replace about half of our close friends every seven years, according to a research study conducted by Sociologist Gerald Mollenhorst. As we transition through various stages of life, our needs and interests change, which draws us to different people.

As we age, it becomes harder to forge those connections, but they’re just as important to your physical and mental health now as when you were younger. That's why it's important to remember that social media “friends” aren’t going to hold your hand through the good and bad times, but true friends will have your back forever. WGW
