Friends

Friends….what are they?

cr: google

Friend – a person with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically one exclusive of sexual or family relations (Oxford Dictionary Online)

If that’s the case then I believe I have a lot of friends. But…was that just from my point of view? Don’t they see me as their friend too? Why did I still feel lonely?

Why?

If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone – Maxwell Maltz

What was that suppose to mean? Can you teach me how to make friends with myself? I do love myself, if that’s what you mean. But do my friends love me the way I am…? If they did then why am I always alone?

Why?

The best time to make friends is before you need them – Ethel Barrymore

I know, but what about them? Did they know about this? Why did they only search me when they need my help? I don’t mind helping my friend though, that’s what you’re supposed to do. Help each other. Stay by their side. So why did they treat me like this? Am I not good enough for them? Am I too easy?

Why?

Friends aren’t jumper cables. You don’t throw them into the trunk and pull them out for emergencies – Anonymous

I guess they do treat me like jumper cables. Could someone tell me the reason for it?

Why?

The language of friendship is not words but meanings – Henry David Thoreau

So should I take it as it is? I could only assume as they didn’t tell me anything. What if they didn’t mean it that way? Am I thinking too much about this? How can I know?

How would I know?

True friendship comes when the silence between two people is comfortable – David Tyson Gentry

I’m not a person with many words. Whenever my friend calls me, I prefer them doing the talking. I miss your voice. You sound happy. I’m so glad. So I usually found the silence between me and my friend is comfortable. What about the other person? Do they feel the same way too?

Do they?

Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize you’re really strangers – Mary Tyler Moore

I hate it when that happens. I don’t understand it. All the time you spend together. All the laughs, the tears. Didn’t they mean something to you?

How could you be so heartless?

It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend – William Blake

I agree. And it is easier to forgive…

…than to forget.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces – Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Are you saying women can’t have long lasting friendships? Tell me what should I do? How can I make my friendship last long? I want to have at least one which would last till the day I die.

Is that too much to ask for?

We are, many of us, a planet orbiting somebody’s sun, unconscious of a lonely moon, orbiting our planet – Robert Brault

Was that lonely moon…me? Am I one of the many lonely moons out there? I believe there are others who felt the same way as I am. But that’s only from my point of view.

So what if…

…there’s a lonely moon out there orbiting me?

Soul-mates are people who bring out the best in you. They are not perfect but are always perfect for you. – Anonymous

I really hope that I could be someone’s soulmate…

…I hope there’s one out there for me as well…

… and I wish that soulmate will accept me…

…just the way I am.

If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me – Anonymous
