On Friends

(image source: www.weheartit.com)

In our journey of life, we will meet a whole bunch of people, some are easy to get along while others might be a total opposite of us. What matter is, from those bunch you will have a few who'll stick with you no matter where life takes you.

Honestly, finding those few is not as easy as ABC. Certain situations will test who are worth keeping and who are just so so. Those people that we had built intimate connections will stay in our hearts forever. Distance is never a hindrance because you know it in your heart that your relationship is more to that. The memories you had shared through thick and thin were priceless.

Way back in elementary and high school, I was so used to have friends around me already but I have this gals who I considered as my closest friends. Up until now, we communicate from time to time. Even though we don't hang around that much, just a simple text or chat message can instantly connect us.

College life wouldn't be that awesome if I hadn't meet my girl friends there. We had each other's back always. We had been through a lot, and I mean it a lot from heartbreaks, to failed subjects to childish acts, so on and so forth.

The two pictures I had shown are the sets of barkada I had, but I have this long list of persons I considered genuine and can be called true friends. My point is people are tested along the way. They may not necessarily be the goody goody friend who'll agree with you at everything but he or she might be the one who can say nasty things about you upfront. Yes, he or she might hurt you but she's just being true and real, no pretenses.

A true friend is someone who'll never leave you hanging. He or she is someone who is silently hurting if you're hurting. One who can laugh with you real hard even if there's nothing funny. A real friend is someone who, despite the distance, will stick around no matter what happens.

Finding real friends is being at peace. It is God's gift. Just be careful not to lose those gifts. Life just keeps on getting better especially knowing you have friends that can walk with you through your journey.
