Friends are essential to a person’s life. Friends who teach us what are good or bad and who stay with us through up and down. No matter what the situation is, we need our friends. I am so glad I have one.
One day I met a teenager girl who was a college student with a childish behavior. At first, I did not feel to talk with her, because she was a simple girl and not too attractive, nothing interests me at all. One of my friends was the one who brought her to our clique.
The feeling of coldness towards her was changed, when she invited us to their house and offered to have dinner with them. To be honest, I love to eat and she triggered my taste buds. During our dinner, she was too hospitable and attentive to our need.
My friend brought her to our church and a good thing happened. She became a part of our church family and little by little, I observed the good side of her. First, she is friendly and nice to talk to, because I never thought that she became my shock absorber. Second, she listens to my unending stories. Lastly, she understands me in times of foolishness. In short, we became close friends.
The cold feelings I had before was now change to a comfortable one, we exchanged life stories, she advices me when I need it and cheers me up in unexpected times. Also, she is kind, generous and concern because she gives and shares what she has. Sometimes, just name your request and ask her, if she can she will do it. However, sometimes I pity her when I think that we are abusing her kindness, but I should not because I know that it is her nature and satisfaction when she helps.
Those are the things she has been doing, throughout the years that we have been together. It is a good thing to have a friend like her. She is happy doing things that warm others hearts.
In contrary, I saw her weakness, which I hate to see, the person whom I thought to be always fine has a soft spot, she does not know how to express her feelings when she is hurt and she does not know how to fight back. All she knows is to keep silent as if nothing happened, but it is true, no matter how we hide and hold back our feelings, it will flow and be shown.
Now, I remembered those days when she sent messages and talked to me pouring out her feelings. This is it, she is a human after all because she knows how to be hurt and bring it out. The only good thing is that she is not keeping any ill feelings toward those who hurt her.
This is how our lives revolve. I considered her as one of my precious friends. Now that she is a professional, her attitude never change especially the good side of her which I saw during those years of studying are still there. She is still approachable and responsible in many things.
That is how friends should be: A friend who is like a star on earth, sharing her bright light to a gloomy heart. Her light of goodness is enough to warm those cold lives, a friend who only comes in one’s life. I am so glad I have got one. EIVOHN, who is like a star on earth, is my dear friend.
