Maintaining Friendship

Can you imagine life without your friends? God it would be so dull.

That is why I keep my old friends close. The good ones, of course. It’s really not that hard to send them random texts or in my case, constant updates about each other’s lives.

The sad thing is that as you grow up, you will find that people have their own paths in life. You’ll go to different colleges, different universities, different countries even! That is when the test is really on. Whether or not your friendship is worth cultivating, or you’re only friends because it was convenient once upon a time.

My good friends are all over the world. We started off somewhere together, then everyone went flying to different continents. Which totally pathetic. But with the technology we have these days, it’s not hard to keep in touch and do useful stuff….like this:

Sometimes I feel like we’re not even physically apart. Sometimes I don’t even get to miss them because I see their faces almost everyday on Skype, tweets updated almost every minute, every hour. or I basically know everything about their life abroad through FB updates.

So tomorrow night, some of my closest friends in KMS will be leaving for India (specifically Manipal).

And have started to send wishes, worried about certain stuff, etc

Sometimes..I am just so touched :')

Sometimes..being (ignorant), I don't know where my friend is heading :| Bad bad

Sometimes...we worried about our ke'exceed'an (I know this doesnt exist ;p) of luggage

Sometimes...we feel so sad :'( (Ayuni, cousin ang! ;p )

Sometimes...emmm this is hard. Confuse? Going insane? Hahaha that's my Farah! :)

At the end of the day, it’s friendships like these that will go on forever. You’re pretty much stuck with them if you know you can’t live a few days without talking to each other.

What I’m indirectly trying to say is that don’t take your friends for granted, because friendship needs to be cultivated and without effort, it will fade away. Even easier if you’re miles apart.

Friends are special :)

Kind of like candy.

So choose well.

Choose the good people who make you happy and somehow make you a better person.

Like candy, choose the good and sweet ones, not the bitter and rotten ones.
