People usually define the depth of their friendships by quantity, how long they've known a person.
Others, on the other hand, define their friendships by quality. I have friends I've known my entire life and friends I've known for a couple of months. Both of whom I would trust my life with, despite the timeframe difference.
But the thing is, how do you determine what ends a friendship?
What if you end a friendship with someone you've known your whole life? Or a friendship you've had for a couple of months? Were you actually friends to begin with? Or just merely acquaintances.
In my opinion, a friendship is determined day by day. You can be friends one day, acquaintances another day, and then enemies a couple days after that. In all honesty, a person shouldn't define what they have with a person with a title, such as "friend" or "best friend" or "acquaintance".
Because, unfortunately, there's a slight chance that an acquaintance can do more for you than a best friend ever did for you.
I don't regret losing a friend, because I have myself who will never let me down.
But I'm always grateful in gaining one because you can never have too many of those.
