We build so many relationships over time.
I'm very lucky to say that I have had a fulfilling life so far and I owe so much to the people I have met. Just last night, I was reminiscing about all my old friends from Primary school and I couldn't help but yearn for their company again. There are a few whom I still occasionally keep in touch with but even still, texting each other once every few months isn't really enough.
I take friendships really seriously. Especially when I'm really close to the other person. I let toxic friendships go and I accept when some friends drift away, but for other friendships that are very dear to me, I keep them close because it doesn't really make sense to me to forget about them after so many years just because I'm in a new school, have new friends and have pretty much a new life.
There's really no point in constantly keeping friends at your disposal because at the end of the day, when you wander of your path in life and get lost, your friends will be the ones who remind you of who you are and what you want to achieve in your life. At least for me, I trust my close friends wholeheartedly when it comes to these reminders. They have been the ones who have listened to my fantasies and dreams and goals; the ones I have raved to about how amazing it would be to be a spoken-word poet or how much I would enjoy travelling the world.
I've spent a while previously, thinking that I was alone. Thinking that I had no true friends or anyone who cared for me. It was such a lonely and dark phase. But I guess overtime we see things clearer, and I've seen that I couldn't have been more wrong.
The new year and new class has brought me new individuals- new friends. And I can't believe how lucky I am to have met them. As for old friends, I'm currently trying to reconnect with them and we talk as if we haven't missed a day without each other.
It's these types of friendships that I know will be with me for the rest of my life. They literally are living beings who have seen me grow, perhaps little page tabs on each chapter of my life.
I never want to lose my page tabs. (:
