There are some people in my life that never ask for anything in return for the kindness, care and concern they show towards me. To the point that I feel that I've been neglecting them and taking them for granted. They may not feel the same way as I do but still, I feel that I should at least let them know I appreciate whatever they have done for me and really do wish to cherish them. I do not love them for what they do for me but because, they saw me when I am invisible.
What is the meaning of being a true friend?
Being a true friend does not mean you have to be a best friend, a close friend or even a good friend to be a true friend. Even if you are a just a friend, you can be a true friend to another. Someone that shows care and concern, who is not afraid to stand by you and someone who is always there.
I have people like that in my life, not a lot but it is enough.
I am writing this blog post to thank and show appreciation to those people whom have been there for me. To those people that I will try to cherish and I really love. It may not be all of them as I am super fickle-minded but those that are involve in recent event (for a lack of vocabulary).
Yes, it is a letter. But it is not just any letter, it is a handwritten letter and was sent to me by mail! Okay, I know it does not seem as much but I was super touched when I received it. First, it was because I love DIY stuffs. Second, she was a close friend, not the closest but still, she remembered to write to me and our promise to write mailed letters. Lastly, many people had once promised me something from letters to real promises and they either broke it or I am still probably waiting for it. And some of these people are much more closer to me than she is. Nevertheless, I am truly sincerely touched.
Thank you Joyce. I really appreciate it.
There is some things that as a dreamer, I hope my friends would say. It is even better when they could mean it and somehow, I found these people
They care and protect me like the naïve little girl I am. They will never let me go anywhere near danger, not even close. They are my #underworld clique and an additional of Pratik (which is not in Underworld). P.s. Team popcorn is a sub-clique, I know, we're cute.
His picture is not here though as I know how much he hates getting he's picture taken. They really shows that they care and loves me as friends. I really love them a lot, though sometimes I really do not want to make anything look too serious.. Chill guys, I will still tell you if anything happens. Okay, Dr Patrick Pratikson. Thank you for taking such good care for me and for standing up for me most of the time as I am being the spineless coward I am. Thanks for teaching that sometimes I need to stand on my own 2 feet as you guys can't always be there for me. Thanks for being my friends and best friends. *hugs*
I shall spare you guys the explanation of what this person did as most people that knows both her and me would already be quite clear. Haha, she's my best friend that most people nowadays know her as Audrey but she'll forever be my Jiahying.
She has sacrifice much for me and helped me a lot through the ages. From secrets, to promises, to oaths. To people, our friendship is admirable. It is, but it has not always been this way.
Like everybody else, we argue, we fought. People that know her, you would know that she is tough nut to break and that every argument or fight with her could be the end of your friendship or whatever relation with her. At that time, this was exactly the case, thanks to a very beautiful misunderstanding that we did resolve till recently. 3-4 years, that was how long the misunderstanding was not resolved. But how did we manage to go back being friends after that break? Haha, easy. I went to annoy Audrey.
But this incident made me realised that if the friendship or bond is really meant to be, a petty misunderstanding or miscommunication would not be the reason for breaking it. I really should thank her Ipod. Thank you JY for everything you have done for me so far and for everything you are going to do for me. Thank you for letting me stay by your side and be your best friend. Thank you for treating me so specially as your best friend, love you!
The last on the list so far (according to recent events). She is probably the only one left in the group that I still trust with my secrets and selfish wishes. I told her things and those things may not be acceptable to her, but she still smiled and said she will respect my decisions, even if it means hurting her.
She has been those girls that would say yes to everything you want. Those people that when you ask her/him anything, they would reply "Up to you" with a smile because they know you have a choice She have changed to be a more willing to voice out her opinions kind of person, which is a good thing but she will only voice out her opinions when she is with people she do not really getting along with. Meaning, she do not mind doing something she do not like if it is with people she likes. To me, I feel that have both good and bad points. Bad; The people she likes will never know what she really want and they might take this habit of hers for granted. I did and I regret.
To those that keeps irritating her and getting on her nerves, I would not to you people. But do note that to bully someone as kind as her and as compassionate as her, you will get what you deserve.
Lastly, thank you Youxia for helping me keep my secrets and I am sorry for everything I have done to you. Thank you for seeing me while others did not. Thank you for helping and understanding me about my condition. And thank you for letting me stay as your friend and being my friend, even after all that I do.
I used to be trapped in darkness and I used to believe that the darkness was everything I have. But I guess when I allowed that little bit of light in, I saw their faces in my darkness. They were accompanying me even when I thought I blended in with the black and that no one else can see me. But they saw and they never left. I feel touched and honoured to be friends with all of you. Thank you.
