If I’m asked to list the few things that make me feel like I have done something good, something right, in my life till now, it would be the friends I have by my side.
From the one friend from my school days who became my lifeline because of a few shared secrets and laughs. To the friends that made classroom bearable and became an important part of my life in just a few years. You made my childhood and teenage complete.
From that hostel roommate that I now consider my sister, my soulmate. To the few chuckle heads that I had to tutor till right before an exam. From that friend who became my horror movies, coffee and tv series partner from being just a face. To those friends who don’t need me to hit them up everyday. You made my adulting fun and full of hope.
From all the witty remarks and jokes of those friends who the world always think are my ‘boyfriends’. To those that become my personal therapists any time of the day. You boys make me feel like I’m not just a dainty girl and reinforce my faith in equality.
These past few months being cooped up at home made me feel insignificant, empty and severely dissatisfied with my life. But all the gifts, wishes, love and of course jokes at my expense, that I received on my birthday, made me realise that as long as I have my select few with me, I could feel lonely but I’m never alone.
Each of you hold a special, separate piece of my soul and being. Believe it or not you guys are my chosen family who not only make me frustrated and angry but also extremely gratified and blooming with love. You are the light that pierce my darkness.
There have been many friends along the way and there will be many more in the journey ahead but you all will be a stitch permanently sewn in the tapestry of my memories. There will be friends for reasons, friends for seasons and then there will be friends for life.
See you next post 😉
