I tried to imagine, how my life would be if I had no friends. What would school be like? Lonely, depressed, bullied, being stared at.
Everyday after school, I'll go straight home.
No one to take me out.
No one to accompany me home.
No one to be there for me.
How would it affect my personal life?
I won't have external support.
I won't have encouragement.
I won't have the guts and will to do as desired.
Most importantly, it would be meaningless.
Such a pity that I took the people around me for granted. Why didn't I do more to nurture our relation, to sustain it, to make it grow? Why did I even allow our friendship to slip away from my fingers? I should have known that I might never find it again no matter how long I wait.
Friends are limited. Not everyone will be your friend. Some people will accept you for who you are. They are willing to join your circle of friends. But others just can't be bothered. They don't even want to lay an eye on you, let alone be your friend.
I promise to treasure everyone around me from now on. No one is perfect, so I'll learn to accept our differences. I want to be a better person. But first, I have to understand more about myself. In order to do that, I will need my friends to help me.
