I have never thought of friends this way, I mean them reflecting my personality. Thinking about it today has opened me up more in a way, and has made me feel less guilty or wired if I must say for those who couldn't be friends with me for one reason or the other. Although I'm an introvert, I love meeting new people, as well as getting to know them and seeing if I could affect their lives positively in any way I can. However, there are certain people that even though I like and wish to be friends with, for some reason or the other it doesn't just work out. Most times when this happens, I will beat myself up about it with the thought of it being something I did to push them away. But thinking about how the few ones have got see me, I realized they are part of me in different aspects of life like we share a part of ourselves that has built our relationship as friends. Apart from my personal life, even those I talk with on social media are all based on a common interest that reflects a part of myself. (All my social media close friends are my real-life friends lol.)
MARVELOUS
After I lost my best friend to family issues I have mentioned in some of my previous posts, Marvis (as I call him) became a brother to me. During my first three years in school, we were like brothers, it was just two of us, and we became closer when we started living together as roommates. We are both introverts and have very similar belief systems regarding everything that concerns morality and religion. We both had to pause school to look for Jobs due to financial issues our families had in 2018, and that was the last time we saw each other. But then it seems the bond we built then lives forever.
VICTOR
I have shared my and victors story a couple of times, although I met him before Marvelous, but when I became friends with Marvelous, he tried being friends with us, but somehow it didn't work out at first. But later in 2021 after I came back to school, I realized we shared a deeper connection than I did with Marvelous. We were both into science fiction, with almost the same character and belief in the aspect of morality, culture, and religion. His selfless attitude is mind-blowing, most times challenges me to go the extra mile. For us, it was as though we were unconsciously striving for who was more selfless and I will say he beat me hands down.

I could go on and on about people in my life that are in my social cycle, people I can trust to have my back. But the most important thing I discovered about them is that at every point I needed someone one of them is always there, even when it's not convenient. At the same time, I'm always looking for an opportunity to be there for them and always wished I had the resources to help out at every point in time, and when I don't have the resources I just try to be there giving emotional support.
Even on hive, there are a few friends I have made, although we don't talk much, but whenever I need them, they are always there, but It is at this point I feel guilty because they have not needed me as much as I have needed them... Lol. But then again I'm grateful for all the time they came through for me. I will stop here for now because I don't want to go all out talking about my not-so-social circle.
Thanks again for stopping by my blog today, until next time.
