A touch of Friendship

Time to get away from love and romance for just this blog entry. =)

Friendship. Something that is simple yet hard to maintain at the same time.

I am the sort of person who will do anything for a friend, and one thing I am proud to say, is that I truly have friends around me who have extend a helping hand to me when I needed help, and shared the tears and laughters of my life.

Look around you, look at the people whom you call a friend. Are they truly your friends? Friendship last as long as how important both parties deem it is. It can be so strong for some, yet so fragile for others.

How to maintain a good friendship with a friend or friends that you truly appreciate and care for?

Frankly speaking, maintaining friendships and relationships, it is all pretty much the same, certain factors e.g. committment varies on how important the friend is to you.

Now the real problem lies in,
How to be a good friend? How to know if you are one?

When your friend meets with certain problems in life, although you might not be able to give him/her proper advices, it will be good to just be by him/her side to let him/her know that they are not alone. Not much people will be able to offer good advices on relationship/work-related problem, unless you are specifically a love coach or a consultant in some fields etc. Therefore it is highly not advisable to give advice to your friend if you are not strong in that field.

Being a good friend is simply being there for the person when he/she needs you. How much information you want to share between each other really depends on how close the two of you all are. So for this, I won't be able to say much, but trust is the main factor here. How much you are willing to share, is how much you trust a person. However, certain limitations comes especially when you two are colleagues or even direct competitors of each other.

Being a good friend requires you to be understanding. I always believe that anything and everything can be ironed out. Especially misunderstanding. A lot of friendships "broke" because of misunderstanding. It is because everyone always deem that friendship is nothing important, thus not putting in any effort to try to understand what went wrong, and to take the extra step to solve the problem.

Losing a friend is something really painful to me. However, it depends on how i lost the friend. If it is due to unforseen circumstances, or simply the friend refuse to explain to me why, I guess I will just let it go. No point pondering over it, especially if you know that the reason is going to be fake (which is usually very obvious).

I seriously urge everyone out there to review the friendships you have with your friends around you now. Keep your good friends closer to you, because these are the people who really cares for you. Make the extra effort to get to know them more (if you haven't), it really does helps to boost the friendship. =)

Remember, friendship is just as important as relationship, noone can live without a friend. =)

*LYRICS of the HEART*

Dear readers,

I am back.. =) This entry is simple, but i know it can definitely relate to some.

Close your eyes and think of the one person who you love the most, the one person who was there with you, holding your hands, walking down the road of life, with a smile that totally melts your heart.

It doesn't matter whether the person is still with you, or has left you due to some misunderstanding or any more other reasons. Why you think of him/her, there will always be one special song.

Throughout my current relationship life, I can say that there is only one close to perfect guy I have been with, he is what i will call a soulmate. Someone who truly understands everything I am, my needs, my wants, even when i move a single inch when I am sleeping, he will know what I am dreaming off. Yes, he is that close to my heart, he became part of me.

The song that will always remind me of him:

"Chasing Cars" by "Snow Patrol"

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world

I don't quite know
How to say, how I feel
Those three words
'l say too much
But not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how is well
Just know that these things will never
Change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world

This song totally reminds me of my beautiful 2 years relationship with him. Till now, I still can't find the courage to get him back, because I know that I will not be able to give him what I will be promising him. So I wish him happiness, and hope that he can find someone better. Who knows what will happen in the future right? =)

Find that one special song that reminds you of the one person who was once or currently so close to you, that song will either make you cry because you feel the pain in your heart, or it will make you smile like me, because it once happen. The magical feeling of being in love.

Peace out people. =)

Huggies to all those who need a hug right now! =p
