My best friend epitomizes the meaning of unconditional love for me. She is somebody who would love you without judging you. She have the most beautiful and radiant smile, melting away all my insecurities and fear. So now, as I am far away from her, whenever I feel a trace of love around me, I look at her smiling photograph in my phone and through that love that defies the boundary of distance, I relive my friendship with her.
Food has magical power. The taste, aroma and texture can transport one to special moments, almost like a time machine.

Random songs playing on the radio stir the strings of my heart most times. They remind me of the wonderful moments when my dear friends have made desperate attempts to teach me dance steps or the countless times when we have hummed the tunes randomly with the giggles outshining the lyrics. Through those silly random songs, I relive my friendship with my friends.
Old jokes with old friends grow funnier with each passing day. By laughing my heart out at the same old ridiculous jokes, I relive my friendship with friends.

I am very bad at staying in touch while some of my friends are even more terrible than me. But in those happy conversations that we have, where we start from right where we had left, months or years ago, with a twinkle in my eyes and a broad smile, I relive my friendship with my friends.
I can't stop thinking how boring my life would've been if not for my friends who make my life beautiful. I guess I'm so lucky having them as my friends.
