Simply stated, I would describe myself as someone who minds his own business. It's a guideline I've followed my whole life. But lately, I've come to realize that having a friend to do things with (or even do nothing with such as reading together) would dramatically improve my quality of life. I would like a friend to engage in some conversation, go for a stroll, or sit together quietly studying.

To me, age, education, social status, family background, income, hair style, clothing style...doesn't matter between friends. In fact, these are the very things that only matter to complete strangers. They are things that you jot down at a job interview, or are used by some kind of political adversary. Between friends, kindness, strength, and spirit are much more important.
