friends

Funny how sometimes, even if you haven't seen a friend for a long time, the bond does not break and the friendship continues as if the distance is not there at all? When you meet your friend after two years of not seeing each other and greet each other as if you've just had coffee yesterday. Its a really nice feeling and such richness to it that it makes my heart glad. I don't know how this happens but I just bask in the richness it brings.

Some people base their level of friendship with a person through the perfectness of the personality. Like if you are not perfect then you're not my friend. Or if you don't fit my standards then I don't want to be friends with you anymore. I guess each has their own standards for friends.

I myself try to be as friendly as possible to people although I must admit at times I look aloof but its just that I would rather go slowly in finding friends rather than rush into one and regret it in the end. I'm sure most of us has thought that some people are friends but in the end, there are certain things about them that's not right and what's worse is harmful to our person. I become sad in such circumstances and think how come people can't just be nice to each other and this place would be a better world. Such a naivete I know. But then I start to reflect and see that I myself has not always been nice and sweet so I could not expect everybody to be the same and then I become tolerant about the whole thing and relax.

Each of us has our own shortcomings and greatness and we just have to accept it much as we accept ourselves. So I believe that the kind of friendship that you have with people is the reflection of how much you are of a friend to yourself.
