Simplified Meaning:
Close friends are not just the ones who see us at our lowest moments, but also those who help us be our best selves. Imagine you have a friend who always brings out the best in you. When you're with them, you feel encouraged to be kind, thoughtful, and positive. For example, if you have a friend who always supports and motivates you, they make you want to do well in life. This friend knows your talents and strengths, and they remind you of these when you're doubting yourself. Surrounding yourself with such friends can help you grow and become a better person, as you strive to live up to the goodness they see in you.
