Who would commiserate with you when your heart has been broken by the same lover for the fourteenth time, and everyone else is sic of hearing about it?
Old friends share your history, your values, and, often a certain common outlook. They often echo your thoughts and feelings.

Another great friend may be out there waiting to be discovered!
