A REAL friend? Well it doesn't happen that often and I think it's not that easy. Of course it takes time. I agree that it's easier to make good friends earlier on in life. But if you don't get out that much like me then it's only normal that it's hard. But I can say the last time I made a real friend was maybe 7 months ago - it came as a surprise to me, even though we got on really well. You know that moment when you transition from just knowing stuff about each other's lives to meeting the people who matter to the other person? That's when you know you've finally come to know them for "real".

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
