Sometimes, it occurred to me that, you know, one day we have to let go of the friends who were so dear to us. Even the thought of it makes me sad. We can't hold them forever, we will have to part ways sooner or later.
Oh well, there's a saying; most friends do not last. Yup, let's take a look at ourselves. Let us rewind back a little, perhaps 3 years ago. We met many friends (definitely) for past three years. Some of them became a part of us. And now, let's ask ourselves. Did those last forever? Did those so called people that became a part of us stayed with us?
The answer is obvious, no. They moved on. These friends came into our lives and then they chose to move on, leaving us puzzled.
Well, this is the reality. Most friendships did not last.
I too, hit by the harsh realization that oh well, I would have to let go of friends who were so endeared to me. Nope, I am not contradicting myself; I treasure my friends, I tried my best to retain them and it pained me to see them leave my life too.
What could I do? Nothing. It was an obvious fact that the friendship was fading and there was nothing I could do to stop it from fading away. I could not do anything prevent them from leaving. I pretend to stay oblivious to the fact but at the end of the day, I still need to accept it. This is inevitable cycle of life. This is reality, not some fairy tale nor fantasy that we see in television and books.
But hey, there are some extraordinary people, the true friends, they chose to stay behind with us.
Yes, they are the people we should cherish and treasure because they did not leave us. They are the people worth fighting for. Don't ever let go of these people, or you will be regretted for the rest of your life.
This is reality, are you brave enough to embrace it? Not to worry, you still have the people worth living for.
