> shout out to friends
in the Life-section of today's newspaper (fcuk! am i THAT bored to be reacting to newspapers? ahahahaha *PUI*) a reporter/writer went on about fairweatherfriends ... about frens who've "abandon" her leaving her high+dry to be with their boyfriends yaddayaddayadda and perhaps voicing out many a peeps feelings. the selfishness is alarming. for both herself and mayhaps others as well, IMHO of coz
why can't we ever be happy for our friends for once? they've found happiness and ya feel itz at your expense? be it the relationship works out or not, when they come "crawling" back to you, you snub them? does being friends mean they've to be "responsible" for you 24-7? heck everyone has a right to find happiness and to lead their own lives, innit? and next thing ya know, they owe you? owe you an explanation for WHAT? but does that mean your friendship means nothing to them? or that they've taken you for granted? mayhaps ... but mayhaps "friendships" are such that itz for as long as it exists, barring time and distance, that it will continue to exist even after courtship, marriage and even having babies? then next thing ya know you'll be complaining about frens who've no time to lavish attention unto you becoz they've gotta take care of their kids? ahahahaha
i remember my youngeradolescentyears (faded but still traces linger) where i had "different" groups of frens. those that i hangout wif at centrepoint (hanging around 5th floor checking out chicks below. heh), frens i go teadancing wif (eerr... only once lah hahaha ;p) and even frens who'll hangout wif me at bras basah complex and discuss books and comics with. can't imagine the different groups doing the same things tho, and such is the selfishness of us when we "choose" different people to be wif, for different "purposes" ... is that wrong?
do we expect too much of our friends in the first place?
but of coz if ya do HAVE frens who could do alla that togeher combined = itz all good innit? and of coz frens might and do outgrown each other, than so be it. as sad as it seems, for lemme reiterate: EVERYBODY HAS THEIR OWN LIVES TO LEAD. if not, we'll all be living together in a same blockoflats, innit? an entire community of frens living together sharing their lives ... imagine the eyes and judgement that you'll face everyday, frens or not.
i wanna shout out loud that i'm unemployed. but will peeps bother or care? i wanna shout out loud that im in love and im muthafreekinghappy. but will everyone be happy for me?
and then there are frens who've you not met for eons and when ya get together, tis like no time has passed in-between and ya catchup and all is fine and dandy? wouldn't that be great?
happiness is a condition not exclusive to oneself.
