"...the people I keep around are reflections of me. There is a reason why I am so calculated when it comes to those I let in my life and my heart. There is also a reason why my expectations are so high for those I let in. I know me and the level of importance I put into each relationship. The length and depth I would go usually is unbelievable. I am not one to count numbers, I don't mind having one good relationship over ten half ass ones. I am not a child and am pretty content with knowing as I get older the number will decrease. I will never cut myself short for anyone. I know what I can bring to the table."

Saw this quote today and it caught my attention. Not sure if the source or reference is right. Not sure who that even is. But it sort of is what I think.
If we're going to have any form of relationship, then that means I believe you're a good person. I have a certain amount of care and respect for you, and I expect the same from you. If I cannot get the feel that there will be reciprocity, then you're not worth my time and effort.
I'm not trying to be a snob. That is never my intention. If we're going to be friends, then I'm willing to go the extra mile for you and give a little more when it's appropriate for me to do so. I don't expect anything in return. But, when the time comes, and I really do need your help, I expect that you would not walk away.
Is that too much to ask for?
I've never had a lot of friends, but I'm pretty confident that the ones that I do have around me would not disappoint me.
