I wanted to join a contest earlier on which needed contestants to send in pictures of them and their best friend. Then, at that point, I recalled that I do not have solely one best friend, but a bunch of good friends.
How about you?
I used to have a best friend in Primary school. She was the first friend whom I befriended in Primary school. Up till now, I can still clearly remember how we met, where we met and what we were doing at that time. 3 years later, we met another friend so we ended up being the 3 musketeers. I guess the saying that 3's a crowd is rather true. So into the 5th year, we declared that we were no longer best friends. Come to think about it, I think we were all too young to understand the true meaning of friendship and how to cherish it. I have confidence that if we were more mature in thinking then, things will be different now. I know this particular friend of mine feels guilty for the past. Don't girl. You made me a stronger person. Although I must admit that I was feeling really terrible and lost at that moment, even causing me to turn to other people to get them to be my best friend, but that was because I really value our friendship and thought it was stronger than that. And probably because my parents were just divorced, thus was really stressed. But it's ok, it's all history and we're still friends. Good friends in fact. Reliable. And we did spend some good years in Secondary school. So no worries! May be our circle of trust had been changed, our bond amended, but nonetheless, I still want to let you know that I'll always be here for you when you need me. Or even if you decide to seek others for help, I'll respect your decision. Just don't let me know anything if I'm not supposed to. You know la, I cannot withstand the feeling of knowing something is hiding from me. But I pray for your happiness, your health and your future. I have trust in you.
That was in Primary and Secondary school. When I went on to poly, I found many good friends as well. Especially this girl who I will always protect. She is so dear to me, have been through with me all my tough times and lowest moments during my gig in poly. However, she is also still not my best friend. I know her best friend too, and goes out with them. We celebrate our birthdays with each other and indulge in each other when we have problems. But when I am with them, I feel odd. I know it's nothing much, but the feeling is not that pleasant. It's like being a light bulb when with a couple. However, I still love them. Cos they give me the motivation to dream, to aspire to be the person who I want to be and the perseverance to live the life I want. Thanks girls!
All in all, I started to think about all my other good friends. Each of them have their best friend and people who they really confide in. I trust we have the connection, and fate did bring us together. But may be time's up for us. It's time to move on and for me to impart my values to others who need encouragement, advise and support. I know you girls are reading this and may feel sour. Don't. I just want to pen my thoughts. To let you girls know that cherishing who you meet everyday is very important. For all you know, that person may be your eternal best friend.
The angel that will guide you through your life...
