“A friend is one that
knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have
become, and still, gently allow you to grow.”

Strangers
Become Friends, Friends Might Become Stranger
Way
back 3 years ago, I started my college life. First thing that came up into my
mind; if there would be someone I can call a friend, a friend that I can trust
with and a friend that I can share everything. When I took my first step inside
the classroom; everyone around were strangers and nobody was familiar. As days
passed by, I’ve learned how to mingle with my classmates; until such time that
I’ve got 4 close friends. We’ve cared to each other, doing adventurous trip, we
treated each other like sisters and we used to call each other “GURL”. I can
actually say that in our second were just rotating to each other’s life. I
treasured, they treasured and we treasured the friendship. In the friendship,
we were not perfect; we argued, cried, laughed, fooled around, forgive and
forget. Yet, destiny was deliberately loved to play around to test the
friendship.
After
almost 3 years of the friendship, I've met someone who rocks my world. I fall
in love with someone that actually came from the other place. I was completely
happy on that time, since I have someone especial and my friends. They've support my happiness, understand and respect me still. As month passed by, I felt
some changes to me positively. I felt like I grow from being immature, from
girl into a woman and there were lots of realizations to myself that I can’t
help to hide it from myself. My friends noticed everything that changed about
me. I thought everything will stay easy in the friendship as it is usually we
always understand each other. As days, weeks, and months passed by, I used to
give lots of time to my especial someone since he needs to go back to his home
soon. I had a lack of time to spend with my friendship where I thought I
plainly explained the situation to them and I thought that they were able to
understand me.
Since
the day that my boyfriend left I felt strange in the friendship. I felt alone
even if I am with them because it’s like they never know that I am with them;
like I am in their world but they don’t recognize me. I tried to pretend that
things were fine but it’s not. I tried to fix things by attempting to give them
a great time and talk to them but they get away from me on that time. The time
that they just passed me by like they I am a stranger, it really hurts me and
turns me into a realization that I had enough of trying to fix things but might
be not able to be fixed. As my days passed by, trying to become independent
from the friendship they talked to me about the problem. But I decided not to
go with the friendship because I also realized that maybe I can’t stand as
their friend anymore like before; going anywhere, having fun, doing adventurous
trip and etc. I was thinking that I’d rather to be alone done breaking things
that the friendship used to do before. I felt really bad and sad about the
friendship, it shouldn't waste but maybe the friendship were failed to fight
from the dilemma that came to the friendship.
I
felt being lonesome on that time, but I encourage myself to be strong. In my
lonesome days, I thought I will become lonely until the year will end but Jesus
Christ let me believe that no man is an island. I mingle to all of my
classmates and feel at home to any group where I belong. I feel so much
contentment in my life because in behalf of the good and many bad things that I
did in this world, there’s still company that accepted me for what and who I am
right now. They made me laugh and feel enjoyment which I thought that I will
just find it only with 4 people.
Looking
back in my past, I am still thankful having my friendship with them and I can’t
hide to myself that I would miss everything that we used to have. I still love
to thank them that I found company from inside the four corner of the
classroom. Maybe as the years will pass by there would be chances will come
between me and them. I learned so many things from the friendship, I learned
that it’s not really good to hold friendship tight so that if chances and
choices will come and cause changes to your life you will not be hurt as much I
felt before. I just sighed on it and said that it should not be wasted but God
has His purpose and we will see what it is.
“A friend is someone who
knows all about you and there for you.”
