Waiting for my friend, lounging in one of the most comfortable outdoor chair cushions I saw at his office lobby, I couldn’t help but reminisce how we both started in the same course and major in college and ended up in way too different career paths. Then again, people do change, and what’s important is that you grow with them and not against them. Communication is always the key to everything.
Right now, I only have a handful of friends that I keep in touch with regularly. The rest I consider acquaintances.
As years goes by, I realize that it becomes tougher to squeeze in time to meet and greet with friends. Then again, the only way you will know which ones are for keeps are during these times. Those who are able to sacrifice a portion of their precious time to find out how you are, are the ones for keeps. And sometimes, when you’re lucky, you find those that, no matter how great the distance, how long the years have passed, even with little to no communication, when you meet that person, it’s as if you’ve just both been away for a week or two. The friend I’m waiting for right now is one of those. And yes, I’m lucky. ^^;
