Friendship

"One does not make friends. One recognizes them."
(Garth Henrichs)
These days, people find it difficult to trust, it's really not easy to know who your friends are. People are just too busy to nurture friendships and some just pretend to be too busy. Everyone seems to be wary of one another. And I think this is just how it is.Anyway, each friend that I have has a distinct worth to me. I don't easily make friends but I do have them. I love and cherish in my heart the memories of being with them. Though even in some instances, I feel isolated with them, this still does not bother me at all. I continue to consider them my friends. I'm open to the fact, that everyone has their own character, me included. And I know that a lot of self control and proper respect are needed to coexist with others... in this way we get to learn more about dealing with each other in a civilized way. I'm just no different from them. I mean, I am human too. So, we are all the same in some ways.Sometimes, I really wish that I could be with all of my friends all the time. But, this is impossible really because the turn of events in our lives often gets in the way.I am a person who doesn't care so much about who you are or what you are, where you belong or how you used to be... maybe this is the real me. And as time goes by, some of my opinions of friends must undergo some changes because of the continually reshaping environment.But honestly I will tell you, I always realize my friends' significance the most, once they are no longer by my side. I really miss everyone of them...and this does not exclude my childhood friends.For this reason, I love my friends!Written by: -Lynne-First Posted: 09/29/2009

  • Dear Sayed,
    Thanks for your comment.

  • Thanks for the poem Ameur. It's so lovely.
  • Bill, please don't scare me... my heart is beating so strongly right now. You're putting me on hot plate. I don't know what to say... :-)
    Thanks for the compliment Bill. But, I can always feel there's a need for me to learn more. There are a lot more of things/situations I want to express in writing and speaking but I just couldn't so, it's really frustrating on my part.
  • I was checking out your other blogs. You have such a gift for writing and I don't understand how you can embrace each phrase as though you are a friend with your words. I say this because you are doing this with a second language. I assume you speak tagalog, unless I am mistaken. Yet, even if you were a native English speaker, you have a gift with words. I think you could put many of your writings together in a book and in the US many would buy it for your ability to speak from the heart. Not everyone can do this even in their native language. Forgive me if I am too direct, but I am very impressed by your abilities. I don't mean to embarrass you. As always, your teacher.
  • I got what you were trying to express. Your belief is very nice! I think you're right... to leave a space for oneself.
    Thanks huseyin.
  • Life is a mystery. It's like, we are all moving around in an oversized labyrinth. We are all wary of what is ahead of us... in effect we sometimes hurt the very person who is true and sincere to us. We all get hurt... so I think, it's best to be always mindful of our ways. I honestly believe that the true meaning of friendship still exist. :-)
    Thank you for your honest and friendly remark rasha.
