As we navigate the complexities of existence, each of us encounters friends who become remarkably dear—individuals who often feel akin to family. However, as we mature and undergo various transformations, it is not uncommon for friendships to wane, with each person pursuing distinct trajectories. Occasionally, these friends may reach out; yet, we might fail to respond. At other times, they may hesitate to connect, sensing that we have transitioned to a different phase.For all the readers here, it is crucial to value the friendships you maintain. Dedicate moments to recognize and cultivate these bonds, even when life's demands weigh heavily. Balancing these relationships with commitments to work and family is essential. Remember, the connections we forge are just as significant as our individual aspirations. Thus, if a friend—or perhaps a best friend—remains in your life, invest time in them and express the depth of your appreciation. Life passes quickly and it is these relationships that enrich our journeys.
Dedication
This narrative is dedicated to (all) my friends from middle school and my classmates at Kolej Vokasional Shah Alam. Each of you has embarked on your own unique life paths—becoming leaders of your families, however, loving wives and husbands, devoted parents, dedicated professionals, inspiring lecturers and successful entrepreneurs. I cherish the memories we've created together; I hold immense love and admiration for each of you. Thank you for being a part of my journey, but I know this is just the beginning. Although life may lead us in different directions, our shared experiences will always remain etched in my heart, because they have shaped who I am today.
