The Thing About Forever

I remember I wrote the word "Forever" the most is during final year in primary school, having to pass the autographs around and ended each autobiography of my own with the word "Friendship Forever". But how many of them that we still contact till now? I don't know about you all, but me, haha, hmm... Only 5 of us went to the same secondary school. The rest, I don't remember seeing them after primary school. And now as we grew up as an adult, or more likely to be adult, we often use that forever when we say 'I love you' to our lovers, oh, not forgotten we still say that to our parents and i know, that's for real. But, how pathetic is it, some might recall, some weeks ago or days ago our lover just uttered that "i love you forever" to us and now he/she asking for break up. Where is that forever?

Maybe there's no forever. Maybe forever means a period of time. Or forever means only for that particular chapter of life. After the relationship is over, new chapter begins. Hmmm.... A friend said, maybe forever isn't that long anymore.

But well, no offend to that word, or people that like to use that word. Actually, forever is still exist. It's only depends on how do you take it. Saw the uncle and aunty who can hardly walk so much, but still hold their hands and walk together in the park. Saw that just newly retired couple go tour around the world and still enjoy each others companion as much as a newly wed couple. Hmm.... this is not make up stories. These were what I saw during the last holiday.

The point is not about forever. It's about appreciation. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. No one can barely hold their future in their hands. No one can see what's their future. Only God knows. So, if there is no appreciation, what's the point of having forever.

Quote from Anson, Friendship is so fragile, so hard to start, but easy to lose. Just by looking at the scope of relationship as friends, is there really forever? But think of it the other way round, what is it about if we have 10 years of relationship as friend but never really was a friend before. And what about having a 10 months relationship but enjoy each others companion so much as it built true friendship. Which one sound much more forever to you? Thinking of that 10 months relationship that will last forever in your head though you didn't have chance to see that person again or that 10 years of relationship that you won't be able to describe your friendship more than 5 minutes?

So, what is it about having forever without enjoying it. What is Friendship really about? What makes the most out of a friendship? It's about the substance in that relationship, the memories that u have in that friendship that counts. We can see that particular person each day but have not friendship and not see the other person for months but yet think of him/her all the time. It's about appreciating each moment of together, it's about the time and effort that u invest of other people as friends.

You'll never know what will happen tomorrow, why not start appreciating each day. relationship is about give and take (i've said this so many times). Relationship cannot be solved or sum up like mathematics 1+ 1 = 2. There's not right or wrong, it's about forgiveness and love again. Maybe an easy contended person like me is not particular with matters and tend to appreciate things so easily. OR maybe, you've been taking things for granted. Taking your friends for granted, thinking that they won't run anywhere and will still stuck with you for a moment for some reason. Haha.

So, do u still believe in forever?

I do.

As friendship is that easy to lose, why not start appreciating moment you have. Count your blessings each day. You'll never know what happen tomorrow. As some incident happened a year ago, till now, i still remember.And I learnt, life is too short to hold grudges on people, live your life like u never before, abundantly and blessed.

Friends Forever.

Tomorrow we may lose a friendship. Tomorrrow u may find new friends or new gang to hang out with. Tomorrow u may leave this place where we still stuck with for some reason, move house, migrate, etcetcetc. Tomorrow u may burst out all your disatisfaction towards me and i can't find reason that we can go on walking our life path together. Tomorrow u may go to a different direction of life than me. WeLL, if it is what you want, if this is really what u want, i shall let u go, and bless you in your future undertakings. There's nothing to lose actually (to cut the process of crying and question why are u leaving, then fall down thinking some part of your life has been plug out and u can't move on, which later on, after quite sometime maybe then only u move on with your life), and I shall look forward to see u again someday, somewhere, some time later. And because of the friendship that we had once (hopefully it didn't ended up sour), it will be forever in my mind.

God Bless You AlwaYS,
and my Friend,
do appreciate what u have now,
and not taking it for granted.
And u may think now, that there's no such thing called Love in friendship,
but with the act of care,
just a lil small tiny thing that people do to you,
shows that lil LOVE that people have for you.
So, I love you.

We all need friends. We all need the love, warmth, recognition and understanding they bring to our mundane existences. They change dull to shine because they care!

Agree?

And i do care and appreciate about our/ours friendships. :)
