Friends
Sunday, June 13, 2010
We all have friends. We have amazing friends who make your day that much more special by spending it with you. We have friends we never really talk to but you would readily give up your life for them. We have caring classmates who endure painfully long lectures with you and listen to you bitch about your other petty, competitive classmates. We have friends who care for us more than we will ever know.. Then there are friends who don't hesitate to lie to your face. Friends who bitch abou you behind your back. Childish friends who get jealous when you don't spend enough time with them. Asshole friends who try to turn your other friends against you.
A select few of us can tell their true friends apart from their other friends with ease. Sadly, I'm not one of them. I trust easily. I believe everything my friends say. Many individuals have taken advantage of this to leave me looking like a fool. It hurts. It hurts when people I
consider once considered my best friends turn around and lie to my face. It hurts when a close friend passes spiteful and degrading comments. It hurts to realise I've been my trust in them has been shattered. It hurts but the pain eventually goes away and we're left with disgust, anger and even pity to a certain degree. We also learn to appreciate our REAL friends even more. Real friends who appreciate you just the same.
Yes, we all have friends. The question is, do you know who your true friends are?
I know mine. After my fair share of betrayals and back-stabbings, I know.
Jolyn, Bavani, Ronika, Sylvia, Hazwani, Ming Xuan, Azirah, Ragini, Sankari and so very many more. I love you alotta lots and I hope you know that :)
