Sometimes I wonder what's the definition of a friendship. How do people actually remain and maintain friends? All along I thought friendship is simple. Simple- like just keeping in contact, chatting and talking. MAybe sometimes going out.. Friendship is mostly based on what? No one actually knows. Someone once told me, a relationship just means that the guy or girl is a very close friend. But since this person was once a very close friend, why is it after the relationship is over, we dont remain friends at all? What then is the proper defination of friendship? Isnt it caring for the other party? Or understanding what the other person needs? Or just sitting there to listen and be there. How can someone who was once so close be so distant now? To seem almost indifferent towards you when just maybe a few weeks ago, we were great pals.
Friends I thought I make easily. Wherever I go, I make friends. But friends to keep? Are always hard to find. I know that its obvious that aquaitances are always easy to make but friends to keep are always hard to find. But dont everyone start from being an aquaintace? Recently I just realised how much hard work a friendship can take. Effort on both parts are much needed, if one party gives up, no matter how much a 2nd party wants it. Its just really hard to go through it alone. What then defines a good friend? Someone who's there in time of need? Someone who's there to advice? Someone who's there to listen or someone who's just there? I dont know. There are many people that I lost contact with, but people I would like to still keep contact with. Its sad. Even though the saying is friends come and go and most friends arent for keep but its really sad to know that there are only that many friends you have for life.
Is a friendship really based on what a person can do for another?
i wonder...
