We all have our group of friends, some of which we are particularly more close to than others. Everyone has that one friend that without saying a word, seems to just know what to say or do, or even know the right time and ask you randomly if you need to hang out. In the past two days, I have encountered two of my best friends who without really knowing, have fulfilled their friend duties in doing little things to make me feel better. While I don’t talk to people about my love life a lot, it is no secret that it isn’t exactly one that leads to marriage or even the kind to be on a road of planning a trip together. In other words, I was basically in a “serious” relationship that has no aspiration of reaching long term status. I guess my vibe has definitely been a little down and out and my friends took notice to it.
Still as open as I can be, I am not an open book with a lot of my personal relationships to my friends, I do the whole “everything’s fine” or “we are great friends”. Sometimes I may be telling a little white lie. Other times, I simply want to avoid unsolicited advice. It made me think, while right now I am kind of mourning a lost relationship and friendship, friends are definitely a girl’s best accessory. If you let them, you realized that a lot of them won’t judge you or even your significant others for your mistakes but simply want to see you be happy. Especially those who are in healthy relationships. I never realized that until recently but when you surround yourself with friends who have a growing, positive, loving relationship… well, it makes it clear to you that it is the kind of thing you also would want for yourself. I guess I can say I am feeling very thankful to be able to open up about certain things to some of my closest friends throughout the years… and then start the grueling process of moving on. Especially when life seems to keep pushing you in that direction.
