snips from a confab..

* a bit of this and that from some of the talks I had with my fabulous friends..

Friend 1: Wow, he really did affect you tremendously. I just realized that..
Me: Yeah, more than you could ever imagine, my world sort of just stopped turning, corny but true..
Friend 1: Maybe because you were searching for a perfect guy and he came along?
Me: Yup.
Friend 1: Coz it was a dream come true for you.
Me: Almost.
Friend 1: But it seems nobody likes him.
Me: Yeah, true that.. maybe just me.
Friend 1: Don't you want to know what he wants now?
Me: Be just platonic friends, maybe.
Friend 1: But you don't want to be just friends..
Me: I already did accept that we're just friends.
Friend 1: Really? When?
Me: Late December, i think.
Friend 1: Isn't it awkward to be friends after everything that had happened?
Me: Maybe, a little.
Friend 1: Do you think you can still be friends with him?
Me: Sometimes I wonder bout that too. But, I think so.. We'll see..


Friend 2: What are you going to do now?
Me: Move on.. Do something for myself.. Change what I value in life.
Friend 2: What do you want to do for yourself?
Me: Achieve something that I'm going to be proud of someday.
Friend 2: And what is that?
Me: Maybe, I'm going to be a teacher.
Friend 2: It's nice that you know what you want.
Me: Thanks to my soul searching, and to everything that happened to my life recently.
Friend 2: I'm not happy with my work anymore, it seems like when I'm at the office I want to cry.
Me: I felt like that with my last job. So, I quit. It's not good to feel like that, it slowly kills your soul.
Friend 2: But I'm scared to fall into depression if I don't have a job. I don't want to leave when I don't have a job waiting for me.
Me: Why allow yourself to suffer? Depression is not a bad thing. You can learn something from it, like I did.
Friend 2: I'm scared that I might go crazy when I get depressed.
Me: Well, I almost did, but I didn't. That's what friends are for.
Friend 2: Why do we meet someone who'll eventually just hurt us terribly?
Me: Maybe to learn, teach us a lesson in life.
Friend 2: A lesson, maybe. But to be hurt so much that you don't want to love anymore, is that what it wants to teach us?
Me: No, not to never love again. But to be strong, and to mature.
Friend 2: Sigh, why is it so painful when you love someone.
Me: That's the price we pay for love, getting hurt.


Friend 3: It's good that you're doing better.
Me: Thanks! Yeah, it feels great to feel better, finally!
Friend 3: I was worried that you'll never get through it.
Me: I was too, I thought I never would. But one day, I just did.
Friend 3: So, you're finally over him, totally?
Me: Well, I can say that I had enough. Totally? I guess that takes time.
Friend 3: But it's good though that you're back. The REAL you is back.
Me: Yeah, I lost me somewhere down the road. I'm glad I'm back too..
Friend 3: Welcome back!

Isn't it amazing how your friends always give you insight on things? When you go through the conversations you had with them, they make you realize a lot of things. The wonderful support they always give you when you're down. And when you're up again, they're still there to welcome you back. No matter what, you know they're right with you all along even when you don't see them. Friends are really God's gift to us, to help us get through everything. Well, that is, if you got the right set of friends. I know, I do. Thanks guys and gals! :)
