Star Analogy
November 2, 2008
If friends were stars,
The one closest to you is the North Star: always there, dependable, and bright.
The friends that are good for you that you should have are the stars that make up the constellations: mapping out the events of your life.
The friends you seem to always pick are shooting stars: amazing one second and gone the next.

I can understand this and relate, but I don't think I have any constellations, and definitely not a North Star.
