Relationships - Failing or Refroming
16:22 Edit This 0 Comments »
Pythagoras once said "Friends are as companions on a journey, who ought to aid each other to persevere in the road to a happier life."
Over the past few months, true friendships seemed to have become more defined. Your true friends stick by you in the nasty of times, even when you cannot stand the thought of ever speaking again. Real friends should for that reason only take a matter of seconds to forgive you for simple misunderstands to complex arguments. True friends are also the ones that understand you the best, even when you yourself is terribly lost and confused. Having graduated high school, moved to a different country and even taken a break from studying, I have discovered that your true "soulmate" friends are the ones that stick by you/stand by you even when times get rough. When work takes the better of us, attitudes turn cold and when organizing an event seems like a mile stone of work, your true friends are the ones outside your door with lots of candy in one hand and the latest gossip to cheer you up in the other. In this sense, Friendship is something meaningful and the bond between two people is indescribable (is that even a word: S?). Friendship no longer consists of holding on to what one gives, but remembering what one receives.
While some strong friendships are reforming, others fail to meet up to that prefect standard. The not so "true" friends are the ones that find any reason to pick a fight, make everyone else see you as a horrible individual and even go so low as to blame one another for not keeping contact or even make mean comments. The line between great friends and good friends are the length they are willing to go to keep you as a great friend. My point is: Having been through the ups and downs of friendship I think it's fair enough to say that I have some clue when it comes to the prefect friends, the fakers, and the ones that just use you for the ride...Yet I find myself sitting here and thinking . . .
What happened to perserving the road to happiness?or Forgotting the giving and remembering receiving?
