Whenever I go to hangout with my friends, I always face the question, "Do you always hang out with these people? Do you not have any other friends?" In all honesty, I don't have any other friends that I can completely trust my entire life with than my 4 best friends. But, to me, that's better than having 10 friends.

The number of friends doesn't matter because what matters is who is going to be there for you when you need them most. If you're throwing a party, all 10 of your friends might show up. But, who's going to come when you need help and you're struggling with something? It's the people who are closest to you.

My best friends have been with me through thick and thin and have never failed to cheer me up when I need it most. They taught me that there's no need for me to have 20 friends when I can have four trustworthy and loyal people by my side who will always be there for me. True friends accept you for you and it's better to have a couple of true friends than a lot of "fake" friends. These are the people who know literally everything about you and genuinely care about you.

My best friends, although there aren't 10 of them, have proved that quality is better than quantity by being there to listen to my rants wholeheartedly and always giving me the best advice. They will always run to my side no matter what situation I am in. Fake friends will always come by and leave but only the true will stay. In this case, four is truly a greater value than 10.
