F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

The words below are by my friend, Diyana, I have pasted it here because I think it is very meaningful. I think it is what all of us think. We can never can be too sure of certain friends.

"Not all friends are worth keeping. Some are simply your "hi bye" friends, some are your "good" turn "bad" friends, some are just your random online friends some are the kind of friends you hide away from when you see them outside school or your workplace while others are just pretending to be your friends. You can never be too sure of a person's character despite knowing him or her for the longest time. There's always something more to that person, some part of him or her that you have not discovered yet."

"I'm therefore not surprised if someone I know turned out to be doing something which is very unexpected of him or her. Some friendships are put to the test by factors like distance and some by time. Others, are tested perhaps quite severely in ways you wouldn't want to imagine and this is when you will get to unravel how much that person honestly values his or her friendship.Not every friend can fit in the comfort spot in my heart. Sometimes, I can't help but feel so guarded when I'm around a certain group of people but around others, I can truly be myself. Thus, I don't expect to engage meaningful relationships with every friend that have crossed my path. Personally, I don't have dozens of friends but I do have a handful of close friends that I treasure with all my heart and hope to keep for the rest of my life. The number of friends I have doesn't hold a significant meaning in my life but the number of friends I can count on is what really matters."

It is a scary world. That is why it's hard for me to trust someone as a friend. Therefore, I am a very difficult friend to be friend with. I am highly sensitive and have a very good instinct when it comes to people who lie or doesn't like my presence. Between this good instinct and sensitivity, sometimes I might get myself confuse. For now, I will just do whatever I could as far as I could breathe. Sometimes I remained silence because I am scared if I was actually not regarded as a friend, a true friend. But I know why I have certain types of friends, so that I can really value life. Haiz... no matter what friends, I don't mind anymore, as long as they remember me and I treat them good.
