It's been a while since I last wrote. I've been busy with work and battling a cold. But I'm here now. I wanted to write on Friendship Day to honor all my amazing friends I've met on this journey through life. Every day feels like Friendship Day with them, right?
I'm lucky to have a bunch of awesome friends. I can't describe each one here, but they're all so wonderful in their own ways. My world revolves around them. Did I mention how beautiful and handsome they are? They really are. I wish I could insert a proud face emoji here. I uploaded a collage of some of them, but this space isn't big enough to capture them all.
According to the dictionary, a friend is a person who you know well and who you like a lot, but who is usually not a member of your family. But to me, the word 'Friend' feels like family. It's like a whole world of different people with the same spirit coming together to make the universe better. Everyone has friends, whether they're parents, siblings, teachers, classmates, or even enemies—anyone we've shared a moment of our lives with.
We've met so many people, each teaching us something about life, even strangers. Sometimes, we distance ourselves from people who are different from us, only considering those who help us as good friends. But everyone has their own life story, and they're a part of ours, just as we're a part of theirs. We shouldn't judge them based on how they treat us. Someone might be rude to me but a darling to someone else, and vice versa. We can't expect everything from one person.
As we journey through life, we'll encounter negative people trying to pull us off course. But that's okay—it makes us stronger and teaches us survival skills. We don't have to stoop to their level. Just be good, do good, but if they push too far, stand up for yourself! And forgiveness is key in friendship. We're all different, so disagreements will happen. We're not perfect, but that shouldn't stop us from welcoming new friends into our lives.
Friends are the companions on our long journey through life. "A journey is best measured in friends rather than miles," says my coffee mug. We should appreciate every person in our life.
As I've moved through different phases of life—from home to primary school, high school, and college—my circle of friends has grown. I've always been the crazy one in the group, but with them, I can be myself. They don't judge me; they listen to my endless chatter, knowing how dramatic I can be.
My first friends were my siblings and cousins. When high school ended, I missed them terribly. Thanks to social media, we can still keep in touch. And when my master's is over, I'll miss the friends I have now. We'll stay connected, but our conversations might become less frequent. That doesn't mean their part in my life is over. Each one has a big place in my heart.
Time and circumstances may drift us apart, but when we're old and gray, reminiscing about our carefree days, we'll still feel young at heart. Or maybe I'll be an old lady telling my grandchildren about my amazing childhood friends and the memories we made. They'll be so jealous!
So, this blog is for all of you. I may not be great at putting my feelings into words, but in my heart, there's endless space for my friends. I'm so thankful for each and every one of you. My life wouldn't be as colorful without you. I love you all. <3 <3
