As I grow older, I began to question the true meaning of friendship. When I was much younger, friendship means sharing secrets, forming alliances, wearing the same brands or type of clothes...basically being identical. Whenever friends quarrel, the most common words we throw at each other are simply "I don't want to friend you anymore". Then, the meaning of friendship may seems superficial, a little childish but simple.
As we grow up, being identical seems wrong as each of us want to stand out among the group. We no longer want to buy the same type of clothes, we no longer see things in the same way...which I suppose is normal as no two people can or have to think alike. Yet as we mature, our thinking are not simple anymore. Differences, jealousy, competitiveness, comparison....and most scary of them all, mind games The question here is why must these exist between true friends.
I have discovered lately that some people whom I have perceived all these years to be true to me are not. Disappointment, sadness, hurt and...ironically blessed as someone told me that I should feel fortunate to discover this earlier and not later. Overnight, my old friends 'downgraded' to just an acquaintance or as better described by that same someone, fair-weather friends.
Do I think this way? I really don't know. I'm confused. I'm sad. I'm trying to not think about it. After all, maybe the one question we should ask is: Are there such things as true friendship? Maybe not after all...
Love oneself as no one can love you more than you do.
