It is strange how friends come into our lives, it might be cliche to say this, but some are there for a whole lifetime, while others are there just for a couple of years or maybe even months... it is strange how tightly people bond together at the right place at the right time... perhaps fate intended it to be so just cos we needed each other at that moment in time...
Still, with the passing of time...some friends may grow distant and we continue upon our own journey in life...yet that doesn't mean that the other person is no longer a fren..we still have their names in our journal of friends...just perhaps a little sadly that our chapter or story with the other person is not progressing and making new highlights as before...
We have new people entering our lives and we start new chapters of friendships, experiencing new and different things and beginning to understand the differences in people a bit more...
As kids, our understanding of friendship is perhaps companionship, the amount of time we spend with each other, the joys and the tears that we share... it was a lot easier then... we didn't question people's motives for being friendly and we accepted them just as they are and to take them into our trust with our innermost thoughts...
As we grew up... it seems a lot more difficult to make frens, perhaps we have greater expectations of friends and expected them to conform to certain standards and social etiquettes... and then work and material success comes in to complicate things even more...sometimes we find it so hard to take someone into our trust and to open up to let the person know the real us...no the passing years have already covered us with so many layers and armors, that sometimes we dun quite know ourselves all that well anymore...
Yet, just sometimes, the right person comes along and we find ourselves opening up...not sure why...but simply willing to pour out our true sentiments to that person and to let them see us for what we really are...
No one is perfect, not ourselves, not our friends and therefore it is hard to ever expect a fren that always lives up to your expectation...but I guess that's what friendships are all about... we put aside some of our expectations and hopefully the other person does too and we simply appreciate each other for what we are... friendships forged will not be forgotten, perhaps diluted over time and if we fail to spend enough time nurturing it...but hey, at least we did share special times and experiences with each other...
As the famous saying engraved on the Sovil Titus brand, 'I dun ask for a lifetime, but just for that moment in time...'
