FRIENDS part I

as we go through our life, we met a lot of people that we can call FRIENDS. some remains to be FRIENDS and most of them turn up just to be acquaintances. i'm blessed to be given chance to know a few REAL friends in my life. i do always pray that our friendship will stay forever. maintaining life long friendship is not a piece of cake. the effort should come from both sides. there is a saying ' a true friend is something that can stand the test of time'. this saying doesn't work on me as i'm not an angel. how would we remain to be friend if we haven't spoken, met and kept in touch with each other for almost 2 years? i tried to understand that life will change after we've graduated. we will have our own commitments, we will live in different places, we will have different careers and we will have our own different life. but to ignore me again and again, really break my heart. i need time to heal that wound. like a seeding, it's planted, cared for, fed nutrients, observed and appreciated to make sure it grows into something flourishing and beautiful. the same goes with friendship. it requires effort, sacrifice and compromise. for those who still value me as their friends, no word could describe my feeling. i just feel grateful and thankful=)
