This yet be another sharing of my thoughts with you with what I just had realized day before yesterday. Growing up, all of us always marvel at the thought of how many people we have met and grew up to stay close with and likely to treasure them as friends. As I was growing up, I am lucky to say for myself that I may have made a lot of friends because of my frequent transfers to different schools during my elementary years but things changed when I stayed put at the same location for my high school and college days. My personality was somewhat in between cause I had a round of friends that came from different groups. Though I tend to enjoy my alone times by myself too (insert loner tunes here!).
Now that school days are over and into the real world I now delve deeper everyday to learn the mysterey it always unravel before my eyes. I have come to say that it doesnt matter how many friends I had made but rather now is the time that i truly appreciate rather a small number of friends whom I can really share my life with from tear of laughter to tears of sadness. I learned that its okay to drop a few friends along the way who may not seem to put the best interest for you. I'll share a few thoughts on how you can find out who your real friends are from the ones who are not.
1. Friends listen to each other and take time to understand each other. Be it in time of sillyness or seriousness. When you see that your thoughts are not appreciated or being shunned in one corner, then I can say that person is not a real friend.
2. Friends support and trust each other. A friend should never put down your ideas or decisions in life. Advices are great but in the end the sole decision still comes from yourself.
3. Friends understand each other, even if there is lack of communication or personally seeing each other. How to know? Even if you havent seen or talked to each other for a long time, there is no awkwardness towards each other. Just the same silly friend he/she is the way you remember them to be.
Well, i just love how it feels that i can create a feeling of mutuality towards a person whom i started to know as a stranger but now is a friend. Hug your friends out and celebrate that your paths crossed because this is the reason why the world is a happy place!
