And you have to do it no matter what is true. No matter what is hard. No matter what unjust, sad, sucky things befall you. Self-pity is a dead-end road. You make the choice to drive down it. It's up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out.

Charlotte Bronte

Friendship however is a plant which cannot be forced -- true friendship is no gourd spring up in a night and withering in a day.
