Whilst I was little, I used to think I had many friends. I played with other children, talked to everybody, giggled with the girls and fought with the boys. Yet, even when we’re fighting, we were all still friends and we patched things up at lightning speed. Life was very easy then. It was less complicated. Then one day, I turned my head from side to side and saw not many, but a person or two behind me, the only real friends I have. Ahhhh, the magic of growing-up and getting old!
As a kid, I used to wish that I was already a grown-up so I could make my own decisions and live life the way I wanted. Little do I know being an adult has its complications. It comes with a price. Adulthood is haunted by responsibilities, choices and day to day realities. Sometimes, life even puts me in a position where I have to choose between friendships or my principles. Either way (I choose), I still emerge a loser. I wish I was still a kid. Maybe, things would be a lot simpler the way it used to.
I have learned to value friendships like never before and to be honest, it is a little too late for I have lost some valuable friends along the way. Something I will regret for the rest of my life. (No, I am not innocent! Upfront, I’m very easy going, bubbly, nice, a little care-free, a little crazy, cracks jokes, and just chilled, but I am very scary when angry. I switch people off! Literally! I can be stubborn at times, even a little bit egoistical, standing for what I believe to be right and will never let people walk all over me. I should be hanged! I’ve lost too many friends, the real ones.) Life is indeed a very good teacher. If we choose to live and learn from our mistakes, hopefully, we will regain ourselves back and get a glimpse of the kid in us.
To my other bestfriend ER, I want you to know that in my eyes you will always be my bestfriend and will never cease to be. Yeah, things seem irreconcilable at the moment, but they say, “Time heals all wounds.” Tomorrow is another day.
