Hello stranger,
It's been a while, again. I haven't had much time to write recently because I've been going out with my family these past few days. Also, I'll be starting my summer "job" (babysitting) tomorrow so I'll probably be really busy during the day and tired by the time I finish. I will still try to keep my blog updated though. Anyway, today was pretty upsetting because I found out that 'Josh Farro' and 'Zac Farro' (brothers), Josh the lead guitarist and Zac the drummer for Paramore, are leaving the band. If you're a Paramore fan, you'd know that they are a really huge part of the band. Not only because they're the lead guitarist and drummer, but because they have been in the band ever since it started. I still wish the both of them the best, though.
I guess that was a great way to start this post, talking about friends leaving, and meeting new ones. When you've known someone for a very long time, it really is hard to let go. This applies not only with friends, but also on a lot of different aspects. It seems, the more you get attached to someone, the more painful it gets when you know it's time to say goodbye. Especially when it is a permanent separation. But we know that we have to move on, and hope for nothing but good things towards that person. It doesn't mean that you have to forget them, because you don't and you mostly can't. Not when they have been a very significant part of your life. You just keep all the memories you had with them and live on. And hey, you get the chance to make new ones with the new friends you make along the way.
Friends, as much as family is, are a really important part of anyone's life. Our friends are the first people we run to when nothing seems to work out. You may expect them to say something to make you feel better, or maybe just knowing that they're there for you makes you feel more at ease. Sometimes you need them to tell you that everything will be okay, sometimes you just need them to listen. Whichever helps. Either way, what would our world be like if nobody were friends? It's almost unimaginable. Although I do understand that there are people who find it hard to get along with other people and prefer to be alone. I have nothing against that, but this post is about friends after all.
So is it true that when you're close to someone you'll be friends forever? It's very easy to say 'no', but after I gave it some thought, my answer has now changed to a 'maybe'. During my sixteen years of living, I have met people whom I've considered as one the closest friends I've ever had. But through time a lot of changes have occurred and now it's almost as if we never knew each other at all. It's such a pity. Losing someone that easy, or someone simply forgetting all the things you've shared together as though they never existed. So that's the partial 'no' to the question. The 'yes' part is still valid because there are still people that stick by you no matter what. However far the distance between you two is or however long you haven't seen each other for. Friends like that, are the friends that are worth keeping. I mean I know it's never easy to forget someone, but sometimes it's what you have to do to be able to move on.
Friendship is a very special bond between people. Just like all the other kinds of relationships, it shouldn't be abused in any way. It's a matter of trusting each other and making yourself worthy of that trust. Trust is probably one of the things that are easy to break, but takes almost a lifetime to repair. Being betrayed by a friend is a very heart-shattering feeling. If you value your friends, you'd be an idiot to betray that trust.
