Pieces of Me

Friendship... what does it really mean?  It is an interpersonal relationship generally considered to be closer than association.  In other words, you share things on a personal level that you would not share with someone who is an associate (someone you know, but don't have the intimacy of a friendship).  There are different degrees of friendships as all friendships are not the same.
