True friendships are like the roots of a tree. They aren't going anywhere! And no matter how the seasons change, true friendships remain the same. Steady, unmovable, solid! True friends don't judge you, degrade you, condemn you or belittle you. Instead, they encourage you, uplift you, inspire you, and most of all love you! Not for who they would prefer you to be, but for who you truly are. When the roots of your friendship are in the right kind of soil it will stand the test of time. Nourish, water, and protect your friendships don't allow the cankerworm to destroy them.
