Serendipity (Anecdote) - Part 3

PHILOSOPHY

If a friendship lasts longer than 7 years, psychologists say it will last a lifetime. Our friendship has only reached a year last February 14. I won’t say that our friendship will last because I am confident enough that we will –last. How can I say it? I just know. Even if there’s no guarantee, I want to believe my instinct that ours will last. Well, I am hoping; I’m wishing. The future is just yet to come and no one has ever have a glimpse of it. That is what we are; we keep on hoping and wishing for something to happen. We keep on dreaming and aiming for what we want. And that is what they give me, HOPE. 

That is how friends should be like. They should keep their hope within themselves so you could also keep yours. Friends give you hope even you have lost it. Friends don’t only give you happiness, they also give you sadness, not a depressing sadness, but a sadness of remembrance and longing. Friends make you laugh when you feel bad. Friends make you smile when you are mad. Friends make you spend without you minding. Friends make who you are and they take you as you are. They take you as a whole even the undesirable parts of you. They see you at your best and they don’t blink when you’re at your worst. I don’t know how to define friendship exactly, but I do know one thing: it should be treasured. These are only my beliefs that came from my experiences and understanding. Making a philosophy isn’t easy, it is explaining the philosophy that you believe into that is hard. 

At some point, they proved that true friendship is disturbing you at your time just to tell you that they are coming over to take a nap. True friendship is waking you up because they wanted to eat somewhere with you. True friendship is spending even when you’re broke. The genuineness of our friendship comes from teaching and helping one another while gaining the betterment of oneself. 

Actually, a true friendship is having mutual feelings even you have different perspective. With all these, I get to understand that, 

–Friendship doesn’t define who you were. It only defines who you will become when you are with the people you share your laughter and food with. –You will learn the true meaning of friendship when you learn that you are not alone on this crazy and rocky journey of life. –You know you learn the meaning of friendship when you choose your friends over your alter ego, when you choose to be with them over spending your time alone, and when you choose to be at home even you wouldn’t do anything. –There are people who will come to your life to change you, either to become better or worse, to become wiser or mediocre, or to become braver or coward. –There are people who will come to your life to change you, people who will wake you up to eat, who will guide you the path, people who will choose you over anything, and people who will accept you no matter how shitty you become. These people are called FRIENDS.

“If there’s one thing I learned about friendship, it is not about forgetting how many problems you have,
it is about remembering all of them and trying to solve each one of them with your friends.”  -Ace Meelan M. Balbarez
