friends

"One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood"

-Lucius Annaeus Seneca

As I tumbled upon my long lost blog page, I believe it is best to open it with the one I value.. friendship. There  are literally billions of people on this face of the earth, but it seems like love, friendship is quite hard to find. Yes, you meet people but there is a certain magic as I call it that stays. Like any other relationship, it involves base of the similarities  that would make you drawn towards each other... the same interests, humour, loves and that little quirky things that is quite unique between yourselves.

Some people I know says they find it hard to build friendship as it involves time and trust. I say if one won't try to share part of themselves then it is truly difficult. One of the hardest thing for me was when I moved in another country permanently. That means leaving my family and friends behind. My close friends were  a bit worried about me.. well totally worried about me as I am quite dependent with their company and they really know me.. like really. The kind of friendship we have is like an institution ... the foundation that was tested through time.  I have loads of friends, but  intimate friends,.. just a handful. As guilty as I am  we don't communicate much now, as being tangled with our own busy lives apart.. but once we do see each other it's like we've never been away. 

After the long search and struggles I finally found friends here .. it  is actually  better to wait.. as like anything else, you don't have to search for it as it will come at the right time that you less expect. Lucky to have friends that I actually feel that I can be myself, flaws and all. Not as unconventional as I have but interestingly interesting, if I may say so. It's not perfect as nothing is, but it is something I truly treasure. They love me as I love them and that is enough and that is just what I want. 

Never thought that I would gain another bunch  friends  while just being in Facebook most of the freaking time. Never thought that there can be a connection from the people that I've met ages ago. Well we went to the same high school but never really hang out as we have different groups, so to speak. It's  funny how people can unfold when you thought you  know them. you'd be surprise that there is more to uncover. Life is more happier... more friends.. more confidants.. more chats to look forward to. I'm the type that really loves to laugh and I have a weird sense of humour that these friends have. I am indeed so happy and so lucky.

I regard friends as  the water for the soul, a keeper of your  most intimate thoughts and feelings... they may not totally understand your weirdness completely but they are willing to listen and be patient with you..and try they best  to figure you out :) There are your family extensions.. and it is not all good all the time, there are misunderstandings and disagreements along the way but it is part of it.

Open your heart and let people come in and touch your life. Live the moments  with people who will love you as you are .I hope you have found  friends..... I hope they have found you.. I hope you are one true friend ..
