Still "Friends"?
It’s really sad that we were once so close, yet we’ve turned into ‘Hi-Bye’ friends, or worse, never see each another again. Having a wide social network is a wonderful thing, but as time passes, we’ll soon realise that the ones that dun leave our lives – or our memory – those that really remain in our heart and by our side, can be countered with our fingers. I’m considering whether it makes more sense to keep to a small group of friends for the rest of your life, or make many friends – even tho at the back of your head, you know that they’ll start drifting apart from you sooner or later. It’s possible to befriend someone and be very close to them within a very short period of time, but it is also possible that this friend becomes “just another person in your contact list” within a short period of time too. This may sound cruel, but it’s the truth sometimes. The saying “It takes 2 to clap.” is applicable for friendships too. At this age now I’ve learnt that effort is really needed to make a friendship last, something like a relationship I guess, except that it’s a lot more subtle with a totally different feel to it.
I recall Lee calling me “fair-weathered friend”. Hmm.. I can see why she said that. It makes sense ar, even if it does hurt sometimes. Are our friendships so superficial that we fall into the “outta sight outta mind” category of acquaintances? I wonder.. I wanna hold really tightly onto all my current friendships, but how long will they all last? =X I’ve been wondering a lot. I wonder why I have so many unanswered questions. Haha. I still feel this weird pang whenever I think of how you died in my heart. Sigh. |
