people just come and go in our lives. we meet people, took to them, share a cup of cofi, or a good meal at some restaurants and even spend weekends out of town or even just for few bottles of malt over the weekends. not long then you woud realize that you have created a circle with this people and becomes your barkada. u can even have the so-called buddy in your circle whom you can fully open up, tok about your problems, be most comfortable with, and vice versa. but then, and so i check back my favorite line: "change is the only constant in this world…" so true indeed! people do change… we cant have all the best in life. those people who just passes bye would be gone forever, while some may come back nd just pass again, while some stay for a while, for a longer while. but mostly, they come and just go, no matter what the length of time theyve stayed in your life. in some instances, u would even loose your so-called best buddy of even ur bestfriends.
some things are just sipmly inevitable and so way out o our control that they slip right in our palms, and the next thing we know is that its gone for good even if we never wanted to loose it.
many factors contributes to such sad situations, but mostly, pride is the main culprit. if we only know how to recognize our mistakes and take responsibility over it and take actions in our initiative to resolve it, then maybe, just maybe, life could be little lighter and better. but our common tendencies is we find it dificult to say the simple word "SORRY"! as simple as that 5-letter word but it means more than 5m tons of effect. just utter that simple word and mostly, everything would be forgotten, life goes on, and retain the ggod friendship.
but of course, we ll think differently. we usually think first of ourselves… our pride! indeed it is best to keep our pride so people wont just simply step on our faces. but have you heard of the line: "everything in moderation is perfect, but everything in deficit or in excess is dangerous", or "too much of something is bad enough"? well, its pretty true, practicaly and politically right. yet, we tend to confide to the reasoning of " im just human, vulnerable to making mistakes"! if we retain such thinking and reasoning, then we’re doomed! we will never progress as a person.
i once had a friend, a very close friend who knew pretty much all about me, from my skin to my marrow, from my split-ends, to my in-grown (toe nails); who knew most of my problems, my worries and my heartaches; whom i considered my treasure box of secrets. weve been to so many sharp curves, bumpy roads and everything but the friendship persisted and kept. but not log then, we came to the end of the road. i never thought that the bumpy rides and sharp curves were over for good, but istead, it was the friendship that went over for good. sad as it my seem, but this is just part of the imperfections in our experiences that defines the perfection of the human life. again, we cant have all the best in life. we need these unpleasant turn of events to nurture our being as we continue with our journey through life.
i was saddened, i wanted to keep back the friendship. but what can one do if one is on a one-way ticket ride? we all now it takes two to tango, but now i can just let the music play, but i cant dance no more.
and then, the music came to an end, and so with the friendship….
the saddest thing was that, the tension wasnt just contained between us, but it also affected the rest of the circle. a chain was cut and it shattered the bond. th circle seems disperesed, and even if the rst of us tried to glue the pieces back together, the mark was there and can no longer be brought back to its original piece.
to my friend, i sincerely thank you for listening to me and spending time with me and the circle thru the hapi and not-so-hapi moments. thank you stayig in my life for a long while. thank you for everything. we now have taken our separate paths, meet new friends and live life the normal way. hope this time, life would be a little better, for it’l never be best…..
so long…
