friends…
I have met up with a lot of friends lately, most of our friendship date back to high school days. At least I am glad I made some sound “friendship investment” back then and today, could live with lesser regret for being an antisocial person in those days.
While we seem to pass the remark that we don’t feel any different than our old selves, but the truth is, a lot has taken place and caused changes in us, subtly or not.
For instance, some of us now invest in branded cosmetics, skincare, clothing and jewelry. These are all part of our Maslow’s hierarchy needs actually.
I feel very alive after meeting people whom I am close to and familiar with simply because we came from almost the same background and today, these friends have made wonders out of their lives…which probably means that I could do the same too to my life.
My split personality or bi-polarity, whichever that makes more sense or relevance to you, can be very extreme. Sometimes I am an introvert, sometimes an extrovert. But I generally like to be in the company of people because I dread loneliness.
I have not really learnt to pamper myself or do anything more than my own laundry at home. But I feel good seeing my friends go for rock climbing, diving, vacation, getting married, having kids, buying houses, going for spa and manicure and pedicure etc. perhaps this is the life that I have been missing all the while…hence I always lament about sorry and pitiful state.
Friends are good, cherish them!
