If you have one true friend you have more than your share.

One friendship that is genuinely true is rarer than the easy use of the word suggests. Most connections are pleasant and conditional, which is fine and no failure, but the person who knows the unflattering parts and stays is uncommon enough that having even one counts as good fortune. Counting how many you have is the wrong exercise. Tending the one you have is the right one.

Think of who would come if things went badly, and do something unprompted for them this week. Nothing grand, just evidence that the friendship is noticed from your side as well.
