Hi everyone😁. I hope you're all doing well.
I always have a lot of friends during childhood. In my elementary days I got along with my classmates. I have three close friends and including me makes were four. One of them even considers me as her best friend. During that time I'm really not aware what true friendship means. We remained friends during high school. We're classmates and do fun things together. This one friend that considers me her best friend is a straight going person. She's prim and proper. Well I can say I'm not that kind of person back then and even now😅. Our poles apart but we still click. I would go out often with one of the girls in our group of four. When our class was shortened and we're out early, me and the other one would go and have fun. You know teenage life that's full of curiosity. We would go out along with other friends that don't belong in our group and try new things. Cutting classes and even trying to drink alcoholic drinks. I think it's just part of growing up😛. My best friend doesn't like this idea and warned me many times. I just don't like her controlling me and telling me what To do. That's why I set aside all her warnings. Until one time when I went out with friends and went to the house of our classmates, we came back late for our first subject in the afternoon. While I was sitting in the chair waiting for the next subject, she sat beside me after they were dismissed and whispered to me that from that moment on she's cutting out our best friend's bond. I'm no longer her best friend but we can still be friends. I was hurt by those words but I told myself never mind🫤. It is what it is. In my mind I thought a best friend is the one that understands you and stands by your side no matter what. On the other hand I don't blame her. Maybe that's her definition of friendship and maybe she just wants the best for me so she tries to lead me to the right path. After graduation we went our separate ways and studied at different universities. Though we still have communication until now it's just as plain as greeting each other every now and then.
It's when I was working that I met two lovely souls that helped me shape my views in life. They are the ones that I considered close friends until now.
Every time I went home I made sure to spend a day with them.
This was taken last 2022 when I first got my Holiday after COVID. We scheduled our meet up a week before my arrival. Were living in different towns and decided to meet in the city.
This was April of 2024 my 2nd trip home. We meet at the same place.
Only in my recent trip that I didn't see them because I didn't have enough time for that 5 days leave😬.
Though we don't meet or chat often, I know the friendship is there. They are the ones that I can say are my closest friends.
Though people that I considered as my best friend since childhood are my sister's. We've seen each other's ups and downs. We fought battles together and were determined to win.♥️
