Friendship for me was the best way to live my life to its fullest with. And I have had a really good time with my friends till now but the ending was always uglier. Not everyone gets so lucky to have good and true friends around them, sometimes we fail to recognize that what we have been calling a friendship goal would someday leave us torn apart after.
Growing up, I was like a girl who enjoyed meeting new people and learning new things from them or from where they are. Also, I was very mindful whilst meeting new friends. Never thought that my tough childhood would make me this much aware of everything but still, I loved my friends. Looking back, I realize that I was the only one who actually cared and they only liked me because I was good at studies, I was creative, funny, and emotional.
Now as I am turning old, I feel sorry for my younger self. I feel sorry because her energy, love, and care were wasted for no good. She was the center of entertainment and she thought people are appreciating her work.
I still remember how a friend of mine from grad days called me "Moment spoiler" because I denied going out with them and they just found out there will be no entertainer. They all wanted to be in my poetries but no one wanted to play the nice characters of a true friend. There too I did not lose hope and finally, I found someone who for the first time in my life cared for me. Everything was so accordingly with the "best" and we saved each other in our toughest times. We were always there for one another and listened to the pains of whoever had to go through.
Honestly speaking, she taught me many things. I learned how to take a stand for myself and she was the smartest and coolest one. We shared seven years of talking and sharing our things.
Since everything was perfect and we labeled each other as best friends, so we shifted together after battling our toxic families. Things didn't end up here and in those times we learned our best lessons. We realized that we were completely different and turned out as the least preferable roommates.
So in my experience, it is not important to find and label someone as your best but to give respect and be honest with your true friends. Good and true friends are those who cherish their memories with you and respectfully let you go if things don't work between you two.
