“but as you age, you lose other, even more important things, like friends-hopefully only bad friends, who maybe weren't as good for you as you once thought. with luck, you'll be able to hang on to your true friends, the ones who were always there for you... even when you thought they weren't.

because friends like that are more precious then all the tiaras in the world.”
