Friendship

What is Friendship?

"An interpersonal relationship is a relatively long-term association between two or more people. This association may be based on emotions like love and liking, regular business interactions, or some other type of social commitment. Interpersonal relationships take place in a great variety of contexts, such as family, friends, marriage, acquaintances, work, clubs, neighborhoods, and churches. They may be regulated by law, custom, or mutual agreement, and are the basis of social groups and society as a whole. Although humans are fundamentally social creatures, interpersonal relationships are not always healthy. Examples of unhealthy relationships include abusive relationships and codependence."

That's according to wikipedia...

But what is friendship for me?

"It's the bond that 2 or more people have that lack of communication or not being with each other can't hinder their closeness. It should also be among people who have something in common. There should be no rules to be set among them."

I have many friends, there are some whom i met from elementary, high school, college and work. Some from cyberspace. But what makes a "friend" a real one for me? a real friend for me is someone who never frequently texts me and asking me for favors on assignments and other stuff related to school. So after school, poof! communication gone since i'm of no use to them anymore. I don't want to be remembered only when they wanted to bond and wanted the count of the "barkada" complete not because they wanted my presence there. And when I'm there it seems like I'm not... All of us should adjust to each others traits, attitude or mannerism. Not just me alone to adjust to them. It should not be about the places you will go or the money you earn from work or about how successfull you are to be the basis of being liked.

All of these things happened to me when I'm in elemenraty, high school and college. The only thing that made a difference in my life is when I'm working. I met many people from different schools and provinces. I am able to mingle with them all and have nothing hidden from them. When I see them I am happy... I naver have to pretend to be happy around them because I am really happy being with them and wanted the day to not end being with them. I can say everything and they listen, they give inputs on what I need to do and comfort me without being sarcastic. I can cry, shout, laugh.. etc with them around and they're still there. When they see something wrong, they tell you immediately not pass from this person to this then to you. They love you for being u and wanted you to remain the same forever.
