“Sometimes it takes years to place a worth on the value of a good friend”
— Prince
Simplified Meaning:
When you have a friend who is really important to you, it can take a long time to realize just how valuable they are. In life, we often don't see how much someone means to us right away. For example, think about someone who always supports you through hard times, or makes you laugh when you are sad. At first, you might take their kindness for granted because they are always there. But as years go by and you face various challenges together, it becomes clear that their unwavering support is rare and precious. This understanding usually grows with time and experience. Recognizing the true value of such a friend can teach you to cherish and appreciate them more, ensuring you never overlook their importance again. It's like discovering a hidden treasure that you didn’t realize was there all along.
