One of the only things ive learnd from my teacher is this one bit of advice.
All you need is one good Friend. if u have that one good friend you can continue to build a circle of friends around this friend. This friend doesnt have to be the same all your life just one really good and close friend.
now ive had my problems (as u can see here in the forum), but i thought i'd pass on the only thing my teacher taught me.
Hope it helps all of u
