As I am the only child, I've always considered my friends as my siblings. They had made a big impact on my life, my choices, my mood, I felt that I am completely dependent on them. I would get really emotional whenever there were issues, or anything unpleasant arose between me and my friends.
But somehow or rather, as I got older and somewhat wiser, I have learned that I don't need a lot of friends. Yes, I still do have friends (mind you, I am just an introvert but not a hermit), but I keep only a few close to me. The chosen ones. Those whom I know would not judge me, and who would tell it straight to my face whenever I've fucked up. The ones who would support me no matter what and vice versa. BUT THE BEST PART IS: I FOUND OUT THAT I AM MY BESTEST FRIEND!!! Nowadays, I am very content just being with myself, having me time, talking to myself, being in my own company. I am at peace with me.
So, the saying that Friendship Remains And Can Never End is relatively true in my case. As I could never grow out of friendship with my own self.
Till next time...
