this year really made me see through th meaning of 'friends come and go'. it is a year that saw many of us heading our own paths be it army, poly, re-taking of o's etc. we are mostly preoccupied with our own school work or interests. there was a day i went down t dome, i was shocked. shocked at th fact tht there were many new faces but sadly only a few old faces. th 'dome' now isnt th 'dome' we used t noe. i remembered when dome was at its 'prime' at any point of time dome had at least 10 people we knew there but sadly now its hard t even get that number during weekends. somehow dome made us see through life in a way or another, we gotta see th 'other' side or rather th hard side of life. but no matter what i would have never regretted hanging out with this group of friends as i have gained more than what i lost.
friends really do come and go and they really do especially at our age. sometimes its really ironic when someone can call th person 'brother' just because that person at tht point of time had helped him in a major way. and if something were t happen in between th friendship they will become enemies. friends split mainly cause of 3 reasons. money, girls and drugs. its so disappointing t see that happen t some of my closest friends. but somehow no matter what they have become i will still remember them when they were at their best and cherish th good times we went past together. at this age we are very vulnerable t changes and it is also th stage that we really start t learn about the 'real' world. its not as simple as we thought it would be. there's so many things that 'could' or 'would' happen and we wouldnt even expect it.
in this 'real' world its really a very cruel world. and yes only th fittest will surive. and yes when it comes t this real world everyone is selfish. most people can just turn their backs on their closest friends just because of money or something that would get them their own personal benefeits. are friendships measure by money? nowadays even family members can fall out with each other because of this very evil thing called money. is it really that important? yes it is important in a way or another but can money buy happiness? money can buy happiness in a way but can it bring u eternal happiness? yes without money you would be miserable but without friends isn't it worst off? sadly; many people fall to th temptation of being greedy for money and some people just 'buy' friendships with their money. th term of 'when you drink people drink with you; when you cry you cry alone' is so true. so many people have left their so-called friends when they are out of cash or when they are at their lowest points. humans can be so greedy till they can betray their friends or even their own family. its such a powerful thing so powerful that even man himself who invented it can't take control of it.
girls; also another powerful 'thing' that tears friendships apart. so many times th best of friends can be enemies because of girls. are relationships more important than friendships? is it worth it to give up a friendship cos a girl? wooooooo i wont wna start on this topic as i'm too lazy t type and if i were t type it would be oh so massive !
drugs; this powerful little substance can cause insanity in a person and thus hurting friendships. can th 'high' in drugs really bring happiness forever and is it really that enjoyable t get 'high' when u are taking th risk of getting hooked on it? have drug abusers ever thought of how their close friends feel when they do what they do? do they even care about how their family would feel if they were t find out? some take it t relieve their pain, some t run away from their problems and some take it just for pure enjoyment. but would all these temporary 'happiness' or 'relieve' help solve th problem or make u happy forever?
but no matter what you say or do they past can never come back and can only stay as memories. many a time we choose t live in th past and hope that it can be relived but it never comes true. everything; everyone is ever-changing. but are they changing for th better or th worse. worse to you or good t them? there's so many ways of looking at things. this past one year had made me look at life with different perspectives. wooooooo. ohwells.
