Today i have decided to continue on my series of "articles" on life...heehee..i know you must be wondering hey arent you only 17...hah...but i guess i have been through much and read lots of stuff abt it and who knows...maybe i may just have stumbled onto something...who knows...then again you can agree to disagree...no one is stopping you..
TOday's topic is abt friends...like or not these are the people that you spend most of your life with, you laugh with them, cry with them and of course go nuts with them...there are many different type of friends that you can possibly have, some better then others but hey they all help to make your life that little more interesting...
The most basic type, and also the most common type is the aquaintance.. pple who are in your life for some reason or another... but hey they just exist..who knows why..i often refer to them as seaweed, pple who just drift in and out of your lives without much effect. this kind of pple are those you are most probably going to use--be it for fun or for your own devious purposes. Who cares....Go wild.!!!! Chances are these are the pple that are with you because of common interest that's all...
The second type is the good friend, you all have been through some storms together and their presence means something to you. These are ppl that are ready to push you up even when you fall right smack on them, sometimes crushing them in the processs...(HEHEHE...beijing 101, you know who i'm talking abt) These are ppl who are always willing to lend a shoulder when needed and are willing to stand up for you. Sometimes they dont always make it clear to you, but you know that they will be supportive of you regardless the outcome...(or least i hope)
The third type i'll talk abt is your best friends..these are those that are really willing to stick with you through everything in your life..plus you feel totally alright around them. There is nothing under the sun that you cant talk abt and nothing in the world that you two cant share.(telepathy hmm?) I guess some may say that they are your muse, inspiring you to do better and of course share a few laughs along the way. They are also the first to comfort you if something goes wrong. The best thing abt them is they are willing to put you b4 themselves...that's true friendship..the funny thing abt it is best friends usually quarrel lots more then normal friends...why? got it from somewhere so i have no idea...but i think it is because when you two know as much abt each other, you tend to see flaws and stuff that others dont see...who knows....but that being said the truth is most of the time this "quarrels" are abt silly things and nothing really impt, so hey?...Not everyone in the world is lucky enough to have someone like this in their lives..so if you have one, you BETTER treasure it...or else...hehe..
However, the thing is abt this analysis is that it is a model template of sorts...i cant say everyone is like that..but hey most are. One of the worst things to happen to a friendship is when they are pissed at each other. Sometimes, secrets can be awkward even among the best of friends and it is of paramount importance that one is sensitive to hints and all, or else it could really escalate into something. We all are like that sometimes, pissing each other off, but the impt thing is to know when you are and stop...if not, many a friendships i know have been ruined over really silly things...so be careful...very careful..or else regret will become your middle name...
I'm not sure about you, but recently i have been getting this weird feeling like i just need to get away from my friends..spend abit of me time. i myself dont even know how to describe the feeling i have inside of me...kinda funny..even now from time to time i feel that way...disclaimer: i am NOT trying to tell my friends to back off...i'm just saying that it is just one of the feelings in side of me..haiz...dont really know lah...go figure...
At the end of the day, like it or not, friends will always be part of your life and you have got to live with it....or else some ppl may mistake you for not having a social life...(who ah?..i wonder) the best thing abt true friends is that you can be totally yourself around them without fear of repercussion...if not, then you probably shouldnt be hanging out with them...
But rmb the best way to make a friend is to be a good friend first...so answer this..have you been the friend you want others to be?...or have you simply been taking without giving...i wonder....so should you...
