It is really hard to be semi-bedridden because of course I cannot do anything I like in life. I often envy my friend next door which was always having a good time with his friends. He and I really have been estranged to one another a long time ago considering that we are childhood friends and had eaten together and done things we like doing.
Me and my brother had pulled him into being religious but he is just not for the task at hand. He had chosen the path of vice, drugs, and drinking which I personally frown upon and do not like doing not to mention gambling in which he even owns a fighting cock where he use for it's betting game. He I think didn't really had been a good friend though because he kept secrets from me and treated me as different when I began to show signs of Leontiasis. He is just a kind of friend only in good times.
Almost all my naughty activities are done with him and he also had done more which I myself really dislike. So over the years these things just pushed me more away from him and so is my brother and he just chosen friends that we a long time ago didn't even think of being with but now he is enjoying their company and they just get together almost every week drinking and having a good time.
This is just one friend that I had lost which I missed because he is just fun to be with, a life of the party kind of person but has a dark side that made me shy away from him. In the end we are really not sharing the common likes anymore. As the saying goes "Birds of the same feather flocks together."
