Most friendships fall into two shallow categories: party friends who vanish when the fun stops, and seasonal friends tied to work or school that fade when life changes. Real friends, the rare OGs, stick around through mess and honesty. Stop wasting energy on the first two.
You have three types of friends. First, the party friends. They're fun on Friday nights, but gone. The second, life gets heavy. Second, seasonal friends. Work buddies, school buddies, gym buddies. They're tied to a chapter, and when that chapter closes, so do they. And third, the Rarest ones, the OGs. Ride or die. They call you out, they hype you up, and they stay when it's messy. Most people waste time chasing the first two, but if you find the third, protect them at all costs.
