Spouse, probably, supposed you’ve managed to find your other half.
Children, perhaps, since you’re married and why not.
Parents, yes, after all family ties are never broken.
Friends? Not so sure.
Someone told me, why bother about your friends when its only a matter of time when their presence fades away from your life? You’ll probably dismiss this pessimistic and indifferent thinking, but I cant deny that there is in fact a minute sense of truth in it.
To be honest, I’ve lost quite a couple of friends along the way. Now that I come to think of it, why did I even feel so bothered about it? Its probably a matter of time when I gradually lose touch with them anyway. Sometimes, I get so tired of making the effort that I start questioning myself if they even give a shit.
Be clear of who is going to be with you at the finishing line; you realise that there actually aren’t many.

i think the friends that will stay with you are those that you don't need to put in conscious effort to build relationships with, you just click, that's all. and when you are comfortable with some people, naturally you'll find time for each other.
last summer i met up with a friend i haven't met in 5 years, we didn't even talk on fb, but the first time we went out after those 5 years, we spent 4 hours talking non-stop at a random coffeeshop. i think that really changed my perspective on friends.
touch wood, but imagine yourself 10 years down the road with no spouse and no children, who would you turn to?
didn't mean to sound like i was teaching you anything, just that i really think that friendships are long-lasting (of course not all of them) and very very important.
btw the sun's up, get ready to picnic!
