I've Just Realised

I havent had the best luck in the friends department, and know how hard it is to find true friends.
My problem is im too giving, and never reaping in the benefits of a friendship.
The answer to this solution is to not give as much, and take more?
Im just not that type of person though, i like giving and in turn expect to recieve when in need?
Thats how it works in my eyes.
An old friend has just started talking to me again?
Other friends have questioned her motives...
But i feel older and mature and possibly feel that she is the same.
Im all for giving second chances and we had a longlasting friendship and we both understood each other.
Comparing to new people i have met, ive realised how hard it is to come by real friends.
So here are to new beginnings, where hopefully i will be less naive.
