I went out for lunch with a office mate, Mel, couple of weeks ago and one conversation stuck with me and made me want to make this post.
It's about friends, making time, and keeping the friendship.
I don't remember how the conversation come to be but it was when I mentioned about me having lunch with my lovelies; Zawir, Buzz and Kuch.
I aslo mentioned to her that we've been friends since high school.
and Mel said, 'bisai ah you guys still hang out together. Kalau aku, my friends always so busy and can not make it'.
I literally paused for a couple of seconds. then I said to her, 'well, we were too but we find time'.
and I remember still thinking about what she just said and what my real thoughts were all through out lunch break.
I mean, you find time. these are your lovely friends and yes you are now busy with your own commitment and what not but when one of us suggested something like having lunch or brunch or whatever, you will find time. you make time.
I'm a lazy person (yes, being fairly honest) but I would love to just make my time for these lovely people. Unless I really can't then I would just tell them that I can't.
and I was glad. Glad I have the friends that I have now and wouldn't trade them with anything in this world. I'm not just talking about Zawir, Buzz and Kuch. I meant my other (elbeit small) circle of friends; ex-colleague and ex-classmates. I may not be as close to them as I do the other three but they are still friends and I will make time.
besides, it's good to hang out out of your normal circle once in a while. you need it. it's good for the brain. 'broaden your mind! and you can see the future~!' Hermione mimicking Prof. Trelawney in Prisoner of Azkaban. (LOL!).
Point is ladies and gentlemen, it's your choice whether or not you want to keep the friendship. If you make time, you'll keep the friendship and if you don't make time, then, paham paham lah.
I know we don't all need friends and be just glad to be with our family members. but I guess everybody have their own stories and some of us need that outside influences to get thru life.
Just, make the time.

a/n: I feel sorry for these people; who don't make time or are not given time.

Ahhh I learn from this post. I really want to hang out with my old friends, again--but yeah, may be I'm the one in problem here; I barely have time, since I moved to other city, it's a bit impossible to make time. I hope when I graduated, I can go back and make time to them, to share the missing warm hugs! <3
ReplyDeleteAww that felt good someone can take a piece from my blog as a lesson. Thank you. XD
DeleteBut you hve a good reason. You live far away now. You still have the intention to hang out with you friends and that counts. ^_^v
