.:. Friends .:.

Friend is a person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard., definition by dictionary.com.

This topic came into my mind when I was watching the channel 8 drama, Together, on fri i think. The male lead said this to the girl he likes,"For a friend, its worth making sacrifices, getting injured, no even if it means losing one's life. If not, what are friends for?" While it might be distorted given the context of the statement, but still it set me thinking. What are friends, or rather how does one define friends?

Since young, we've heard the term "Best Friends", so what exactly defines the boundaries between a "Best Friend" and a "Friend", or even a "Friend" from a passer-by. Could it be by the common likings the 2 share, so they are able to talk more and relate more to each other, so they become "Best Friend"s? Or is it by the depth of how much the 2 know bout each other, through common talk and sharing of deep dark secrets not disclosed to public under normal circumstances? Or even the sexes, whereby its common sight to see "Best Friend"s being of the same gender? I tried very hard to think bout it, but can't come up with anything, too deep for my level of intellect i guess. Maybe its a combination of factors, whereby the factors are variables specific to each individual...just maybe

But thru the thinking process, I kinda reflected alot on myself, the passer-bys, friends and Best friends that I know. Its quite amazing how i use to be able to have...temporary friends shall I call it...considering now I am a person who very much treasures my friends around me. What I am talking about is like during events of short periods of times, days or weeks, whereby we can stick to someone whom we can seem to get along so well with, but then suddenly after whatever the event, the bond simply disappears, contact just lost like that, as if disintegrating, flying away into the abundant air surrounding us. I can remember a few of such cases...now to think of it, why did I not try and maintain contact then, or even now...I just don't know...

Sitting here with my fingers poised over the keyboard, I cant identify the factors that I choose my friends by. There's a huge range, from having been friends since too far to recall to common topics like gundam to simply being able to get-along with the person. I have friends around me that I cant identify why we are friends, but we are. Don't get me wrong, I like those friends too, just cant say why.

Best Friends. Now this point I am quite sure of myself. Best friends are people whom I feel comfortable enough for me to be free of any restrain of myself, to be able to just be myself. And I really treasure the Best friends that i have, and i really hope our friendship can last thru the ages, even as we enter the complex manipulative world of adulthood. Just pure friendship that withstands the corrosion with time. But on the same note, I think I take my best friends for granted... in a certain sense. Sometimes being totally who I am is, I realise, not exactly very pleasing to others even if i say so myself. I am able to joke around with my best friends, make digs at each others, and just laught about it, but there are times when I realise I am having so much fun that I actually think its too much, if you get what I mean. Its not that I don't treasure these precious friends of mine, I really do from the bottom of my heart, but I just tend to do so. So if any of my friends are reading this and you have in a way felt this way from me, I am truly sorry. Know that I really do treasure you.

Ok the more i type this, the more I am thinking deeper into life, the more "emo" i get, and its late in the night, so i think i should stop. The top represents my stand on "Friends", and it should include all I've thought about it so far. Although it might change down the years, but let this be here for now, and my reference in future when i chance upon this.

I am grateful for all the people, passer-bys, friends, Best friends who are apart of my life :) Luv you all :)

Looking up to the sun
Flying high, up high on wings
The heat dissolves them
and he falls into the deep sea.

A single tear drops into the serene water, creating a wave
That wave is blown by the wind and reaches far away.

The moon gently massages my shoulders
reflecting a yellow path on the water surface.
