A friend is a gift you give yourself.

Summary

This quote suggests that having a true friend is not only a blessing, but also a conscious choice we make for ourselves. Friends bring joy, comfort, and support into our lives.

Therefore, the quote emphasizes that friends are not simply someone we stumble upon, but rather someone we actively seek and cherish as a valuable gift to ourselves.
