Catherine DoyleThe whole point of being a good friend is being in the darkness. I’ll be your light, until you can be it yourself again.
About This Quote
A good friend is someone with whom you can be yourself, who will understand you and accept you, who will support you and encourage you. Good friends are there when you need them, but also stand by your side when they need you. It takes a strong person to stop being the person they are just because someone else is in the darkness. If you are willing to still be yourself even if your friend is in the darkness, then that friendship will last forever.
