I truly appreciate the frens that i have.
I feel blessed. :D
acquaintances and frens. how do you u if u have more acquaintances or more closer frens whom u know u can have heart-to-heart talks no matter how long u all have not seen each other?
it touches me. really. to know that some of my frens will always be there for me no matter wad i do, and where i am.
i appreciate what byron has taught me. to not take frens as granted and spend time catching up with as many frens as possible. it was then tat i realised i ve nv really make an effort to catch up with frens. in sg, its either that i meet up with my galfrens to go shopping and chat along the way, or go out as a group and have fun together. we nv really meet and spend the afternoon sipping coffee and catching up on the things happening in each others' lives.
not tat we dun talk abt our lives while we go shopping, but its just different when we can indulge in a cup of coffee (which in my case wld be a cup of tea) and each other's company, and talk abt lives in general.
after going thru the last 2 mths, i have come to realise the importance of frens. i was touched by the actions of many. just a simple sms. an email. a phone call. tat touched me. seriously. especially when its frm a person whom u regard as an acquaintance.
tat is when u realise ur worth as a fren. tat is when u know u r being valued as a fren.
simple things in life that can put a smile on one's face.
i ve realised that it is not necessary for frens to be with you all the time; to be in contact with u frequently; to chat with u over msn/icq regularly to be considered close frens.
i do not keep in very close contacts with my pri school frens. i see them at most 5/6 times a year, but yet, they are my closest bunch of frens. they are frens whom i know i can confide my inner-most tots and feelings in no matter how frequent we keep in touch with each others' lives. u know u can entrust them with the responsibility of keeping ur secrets, and offering you the best advice they can possible give.
i ve come to conclude that these r wad i call close frens.
so wad if im not updated with the exciting or mundane stuff going on in their lives. so wad if im not informed of their whereabouts. so wad if i dun see them or talk to them regularly.
so wad.
it doesnt matter.
even if they make new frens. new frens whom they are very close with. it doesnt matter. all it matters is that i know they will always be there for me no matter wad happens. i ve known them enuff to make that statement. and that is y they r my frens. my close frens.
its the trust that bonds us together.
