Meeting new people, is always good. You are exposed to more life stories and you learn from what tell you. Somewhat of an eye opening experience, an addition to an amazing life ahead. Best times, would be when you find things and topics that you both could agree on, you get fascinated to the unknown side of this newly acquainted person. Something new, something fresh from what you already have.
Along the way, you lose out on known people too. We normally make a big fuss when our 'good friends' are being distanced from us. Who do we blame for this misery that we both go through? Adding salt to open wounds when they used to be the one patching it up for you. What happened? Neither one of you could give a solid answer. Egos skyrocket, neither is willing to put their guards down. Where will this lead to?
Distance can pull relationships tighter. But when you have a pulling force, you will also have the pushing force; loosened ties. Time, plays an important culprit in this matter too.
Today, I don't know where exactly I stand on that tier of friendship. Things I have refused to acknowledge; tearing friendships due to distance and lack of time spent together. It was almost impossible to keep everything the way it is, just as it is before I left. Every trip coming back home, feels like I have skipped a whole lot of together-times with friends. The times when I am home, made it felt like there is no way I could replace those lost times. People are still around, but it just felt different. Sometimes, it feels like I am living a completely different life altogether.
Best friends, are friends whom I know for sure who will be there by me, through the thick and thins, knows about my life in the foreign land, while keeping me updated about their lives back in the homeland. It is them, who I feel like I owe my life to (literally), that feeling of being somewhere, secure with. Not alone, like I am some complete stranger. Friends who would find me out of the blue, randomly asking me how I was, and would end up chatting away with whatever that came to our minds. Frustrations, happiness, anxiousness could be felt by the delay of time.
Everybody has got their own lives to live. More often of times, where things that meant miniscule scales would just disappear into nothing. Maybe I am the silly one who is just sitting there, browsing through my Facebook friends list and ponder upon how I used to know them, and how we just don't talk anymore. It also brought up the thought of how many of them are still friends or just a matter of the past. Where is this line between friendship and acquaintance, what draws that line between acquaintances and strangers. What is the differences between friends and best friends?
Til I figure it out, browsing through my Facebook friends list and homepage, day in and day out, questioning myself.. Til I fall out of reality..
