Harsh Truth: Most of your friends aren’t really your friends.
They’re just along for the ride when it’s fun, convenient, or valuable.
Your real friends are the ones who are there for you when it’s none of those—when you have *nothing* to offer in return.
Cherish them.

One of the traits I value most in people: being a Darkest Hour Friend.
It takes character to show up for someone in their darkest hour.
People never forget who supported them when the chips were down.
Be the friend who is always there for your real ones—in good times and bad.

When someone is going through hell, just saying “I’m with you” is the most powerful thing you can do.
Advice, perspectives, or offers to help are minimally impactful.
The notion that someone is with you is 10x more powerful.

I think you can categorize friends into two groups—Locals and Tourists.
Tourists can be fun when it’s nice out, but leave when the weather gets bad.
Locals are aware that seasons change, and stick with you through the cycles.
Aim for a high ratio of Locals to Tourists.

Goal for 2023: Find your Darkest Hour Friends (and be one to someone else).
