I am not in the "emo" mood right now. Dont ever think about it...lol... But I kind of have this feeling of...hmmm..what you call this?..haha...Anyway, since I was a kid...It has been my hobby to collect "quotable quotes". May it be on leadership, love, family, friendship, for inspiring others, motivating one's self and things like that... I can just sometimes find myself going over my collections if I tend to have this feeling of emptiness or loneliness (I know the Bible is much more powerful, but having to read all or most of the quotes that I have gathered just gives me some strength and reason to smile...again...) and during the times when I cant seem to find anything useful to do. lol!.. x_x
Now here are some of my favorite quotes on friendship. Pick one or more and try to share it with your friends. I'm sure they'll love you for it and that simple act will always be remembered.
