Friendship and Life

Somewhere between the *procrastination*

and the incessant forwards and the friendships

and the calls/txt messages to each other complaining about 

Boyfriends/Girlfriends and even X's!!

Somewhere between the phone calls to old friends

and the "I miss you's", the "I love you's" and
the "What are we doing tonight's?"

And somewhere between all of the changing and growing...
somewhere between all TRIPS, InuMAN and GiMIks

...And the PRETENDING that we're Happy SomeTiMEs 

Somewhere between all the appointments,

Making plans then breaking plans...

Appearing, Disappearing, then reappearing...

I forgot--I forgot what it was like to cry.  I forgot that pretending to be happy doesn't make you happy...

And that pretending to be SmArT doesn't make you smart ..

I forgot that you can't just forget the past

in fear of the FUTURE...

I forgot that you can't control falling in LoVe..
And that you can't make yourself fall in *LoVe*.... I learned that I can LOVE...

I learned that it's okay to MEsS UP....
And it's okay to ask for HELP..

And it's okay to feel like crap...

I learned it's okay to cOmPLaiN

and wHINe to all your friends for a whole day........
I learned that sometimes the things you want most,
you just can't have

and the things that you look for are right in front of you.I learned that the greatest thing

about LIFE and the working worldit isn't about the parties or the DRiNKiNG or the Hookups...

 

It's the *FrIeNdShIpS*
which means taking chances...
I learned that sometimes the things we want to forget are the things which we most need to talk about...
I learned that TIME and LOVE can heal all things...
I learned that just when you think it can't get worse - it does! ...
but with the love and support of friends - you survive...
I've learned that when you start feeling BaD 
about L O S I N G touch and about those that you've lost!
They too, are feeling the same way....

I learned that letters from friends

are the most important things.

And that sending cards to your friends makes you feel better!

But, basically, I just learned that my friends........

Both old and new.....

are the most important people to me in the world AND.......

without them, I wouldn't  be who
I am today... 

So this is a THANK YOU 
to all of my friends...

For a year full of Joy, Laughters and HOPE...
and most especially ...

For always being there...
