Friends, what do they mean for you?
The recent event with Gail's post in her LJ make me realized once more what's the meaning of friends to me.
Since I'm the only child in my family, I often get lonely, especially when my parents do their own business, forgetting about me sometimes. My only friends when I was a child was dolls, and nintendo (the old nintendo, not the DS one). I often wondered though why I'm always alone when everyday my friends would tell the story about them bickering with their siblings for a very small things. They would always tell me how fortunate I am because I'm the only child and my parents never prioritize my siblings over me. True, I never experience that but they also never experience my loneliness at home when there's no one to talk to. So maybe that's why I treasure my friends so much.
I try to maintain a very good relationship with all my friends, do whatever I can do to restore the damage if I somehow do a mistake and make them angry at me. I try not to say the wrong things when I'm with them, try to be silent if they didn't ask me anything, or even be the obidient type of person who will do whatever my friends asked me to do. I hate losing friends even more than I hate losing my pride. Pride is nothing compared to friends. I always think like that.
And I still think like that, it's just that I've matured about it. I won't do anything for them, but I'll try to see what I can do to help them the best I can. I will say sorry if I did the wrong thing but I won't let them bully me to say sorry everytime even though I did nothing wrong. I will try to mend the relationship if I did commit a mistake that make them hate me or dislike me.
I have this one friend that had been with me for more than 10 years so she knew all about my bad habit, my weakness, my way of thinking, what I like, basically everything about me. We got into a fight once when I refused to say sorry to her when she's clearly at wrong. Though it took us 2 months to reconcile but I'm glad that we're best friends again. She's the longest friend that I have that could understand me like an open book and it would be horrible to lose her.
That's me though. Not everyone will do the same thing as me, and I'm sure that everyone has different opinion regarding friends. I hope that I could read about you and your best friend. That would be nice :)
