Friends

    Throughout one’s lifetime you may make many friends or completely the opposite.  Friends are just great people you can choose to share your life with and they seem to be the next closest people after family or to some they could be closer of course.

    In my lifetime I have had the chance to experience the privilege many friendships and the thing I love about them is that they are all unique and have properties we like and dislike although we do share a lot in common which is probably the main factor of friendship. I have also had the usual disagreements with friendships especially in the infantile days although of course as we have grown up and our friendships grown our connections more and just seemed stronger like a bond that cannot break.

    One thing I have noticed is that if you are truthful about who you are, you seem to have a much more enjoyable life however this obviously is not the case for everyone as the saying goes ‘good things happen to bad people.’ Moreover I have realised that as you grow up and get an understanding of morality and as your knowledge develops you start to become more responsible and make more decisions; one of these decisions being the choices your friends as from becoming a unity of innocence everyone seems to branch out into the world having their own views and opinions of things.

     This is the start of the long pathway as ahead that brings unexpected moments that we are just left to face where we meet our acquaintances who are individual but some say determine who we are. There are the close friends and of course the distant friends, the reliable friends and the trustworthy friends. You know who these people are as you feel like you have been on a great journey with the following up the memories with them.

    Unfortunately there always have to be one or two (may be more) that decide to stab you in the back but being the kind person you learn to forgive and ‘forget.’  Forgetting not erasing your memory necessarily but certain events may not affect you like they had before. This is the great thing about it memories as they act like an army that is very hard to conquer  which is what makes a friend a friend because if for example; you have an argument a real friend would not give that up depending on how minor and major the circumstances are.

      Sad enough to say it sometimes you can get sick of friends probably because you or they have changed. This is when you may start to miss old days like say if you moved area.

Friends to me are basically the lifetime treasures you need to keep and their individual personalities are priceless. You will always know a good one when you get the know them.
