Hmm. I believe that it is worth the risk... However, ultimately it is up to you to decide whether the risk is worth it to you. Surely you do not plan to abandon the ones you have grown to trust? Are they worth so little to you?

One of the greatest benefits of having friends is that they can help ease the pain if it becomes too much to bear. If you do not handle pain well, that is one thing you cannot afford to throw away. Even the friends I have are few...but without them, I doubt I would still be standing.
