To an Especially Important Friend

Dear buddy,

I know that you are going through the lowest point of your life. But as you are drowning in your own tears, stumble wearily through obstacles and problems, stress and worries; just remember that I’m always here, right beside you, to care. Sometimes, things are just difficult to convey through the mouth you see; especially between us, two big guys. But seeing you burst down in tears in the car, I’m suddenly lost of words. I hope our presence just now did make you better, at least, by a bit.

God is never fair, brother. Some people are just better off then others. Some work hard to score, while some merely put in much effort to have the same outcome. This is how unfair life could be. But as you sank into your agony, complaining how devastated life is, do believe that god did do some justice. At least, you are here, healthy and strong to look after your sickly parents. At least you are here, with a strong will to provide her with care and concern she need at least for the next two years. You got to be strong, because you are the only one left, the only pillar for them to rely on.

Life could have been agonizing but life could have been as fun as well. Reminiscing those days where we laughed like cocks in movies, those sessions spent in cafes and restaurants, gossiping about anything under the sky, etc. Those have become parts of my memories. To be in simple, friends are here to care. Trust me, you will make it big one day if you don’t give up. Life is a long journey. Not everyday is a sunny day, but neither all are gloomy. Try waking up everyday with a smile, telling yourself today is a happy day, and you will be happy eventually. I know it could be tiring to face so much in life. It’s definitely not easy for a 22 years old lively young man to feel the burden of someone a hundred. You will have my support. And I’m always here to share. This world is in such disarray. Pathetic and sad. Cold and distant. But as you walk through this life, and through this living hell, a real happiness is awaiting for you. Endure. My strong friend.
