Friendship is life story with the main cast and supports. As our life goes on, we ourselves or the people around us are either giving and taking in one way or another in many scenes and from there we meet and get lots of acquaintances, social friends and colleague, common friends, several casual friends and close friends, and one or two intimate friends or best friends. Some may come and some may go but some stays and we keep this loop goes round and round and on and on, and they make up the cast of our story.
In five years of my search to find the true friends among the casts,
there are different ways I am using to find the friends that I can be with in
times of difficulty, success, and even in ordinary events. I have some old good friends who I went back
to reconnect with, I have current colleague whom I made myself closer in hope
of becoming friends, and I have old and current friends that I leveled up the
relationship to make it the turning point to become that true friends. But it is so difficult because everything has
no assurance. Either we are so far to
each other, or I do not know if I can be with them or can I still be with them?
There are people whom we had soft spot even before that somehow
have become our friends because we used to be with them before: high school
classmate, former colleague, or childhood playmates. And the fact that we had
soft spot with them, that alone says they can be the possible choices that we
wanted to be friends. That is maybe
because there are similarities in our personalities, in likes and dislikes, or
whatever characteristics that are matching with us. Your friendship may did not continue because
of your separate life that you pursued but when out of nowhere and out of the
blue you remember it, you will find there is still soft spot in your heart no
matter how many years have passed. And when
there is chance, it is so nice to go back them to continue the friendship because
there is already the similarity or mutual feeling between the two of you.
Sometime one of the main casts is seemed to be not in the happy
ending. Sometimes we thought we already
found it but sometimes why it seems there are looming obstacles? In my five years of searching true friends, I
went back to old friends but it looks like my prayers to be with them finally for
life will not be granted. Reasons might
be because they will not stay for good in the place where I will stay in my
retiring home. Or we will not meet in
our hometown when we decided to go home because our places are miles
apart. Or it could be we are not sure if
we will still be able to see each other because life is a matter of time.
There are second chances. I
have friendship that was given a second chance to renew the friendship. Though we were reconnected, there is a feeling
of regret in me that I should have done something then. I should have done it then during the times
when we build friendships that I can do something actually, friendship would
have developed and grown. There are many
times, things and trials that were wasted that could have cemented the
friendship’s foundation. To my friend
before, parted miles away from each other, and reconnected again: friendship is
not in the distance, frequency of conversation, and numbers of shared beautiful
things that happened, it is not about these things but it is in the greatness and
cleanliness of good thoughts for each other.
