In life, having good friends is very important. Because somehow they become another family you have.
They not only keep me lively and keep me company, but they also help and care for me. And in the world we live in now, that is something that isn't easy to come across.
If anyone has good friends they can brag about, they should thank their stars because low-key key it's a blessing in disguise.
Finding good friends is not a day job.
People have friends they keep for years but still aren't good friends, or sometimes even turn out to be their enemies.
If you have ever had bad friends before, you would understand that having good friends is a blessing. But that doesn't mean not having good friends and bad friends is a curse either.
But still, I would be sincere and speak my mind and what I feel is true. We don't really need friends to be happy. Someone once told me that I think so because I am an introvert and antisocial, so I am just making excuses for being too lazy to make friends but it doesn't add up because even with my nature, I still have friends that I am grateful for this day.
I am the kind of person who has always believed that happiness comes from within oneself. I know friends and family make us happy and make us laugh, but true happiness comes from within.
Someone could have friends and family and still be unhappy because something inside is broken.
That's the same way that someone without friends or even family can still be happy.
I feel like, as humans, we convince ourselves that we always need to be attached to someone, so we lie to ourselves that our happiness lies in someone else.
There is this thing I do these days, where no matter what happens, I try to stay happy, and I have proved to myself that if I had no friends, I would still be happy. After all, I used to be happy for the brief moments when I had no friends, for example, when I was new somewhere, sometimes, especially when I was little, it took me quite a while to get used to people around me and make friends.
Yes, a life without good friends would have so many things missing. Like the moments that can be shared with friends, the experiences and all, the bond and love, the help when one is in need, someone to have your back, these are all things that I have in my life right now because I have good friends. But I believe we can build our minds and selves to a stage where nothing makes us miss out on our happiness.
Not having friends doesn't necessarily mean one's life has to be boring or sad.
Happiness isn't something that should be controlled by others in any way. We should control our own happiness. If there were a world where I had no good friends, I would still find a way to be happy. It's like something I would say when I get old, an ingredient missing doesn't make the soup bitter, hehe.
