In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. They are called friends.
Met up with some good old friends yesterday, and on Sunday. On both occassions, we had simple dinners, and lazy cuppa sessions that followed. There were massive updates about lives. Ah, simple affairs like these made a happy Sean. =) I am amazed how most of us changed over the years, of course "to be a better man (or woman)".
There are people in my life who give me comfort when the going gets tough, as it invariably does. I can count on them for a shoulder to cry on. They will lift me up when I fall, they will hold me in their arms as I cry and tell me everything is going to be okay. Best friends are like diamonds, precious and rare. False friends are like leaves, found everywhere. I'm lucky to have a few priceless diamonds in my life. =)
Three months from now, some of us will be leaving. To Australia. To USA. To finding our own place in the world. One old buddy once asked me, "Will we still be as close as ever when you come back 18 months later?" Sounds mushy for two big guys to feel that way. Hahas. But, there's magic in the memory of schoolboy friendships; it softens the heart...
As we're all still either striving for a good career or mugging hard in school; trying to blend into the society as we cursed; trying to look for a ideal spouse or trying to maintain a good relationship with a partner; we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, the few of us will come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change so much to the point where we're not all still friends (coz it would never happens). I'm lucky to have them, and I know I will still have them when the world finds me nuisance.
There are some points in time, where friends are spread apart due to different things in lives to accomplish. As we are all trying to find our little space in the world, no matter how far the distance is, no matter how long we have never meet, no distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are truly persuaded of each other's worth.

This entry is to remind myself. Of them, of their worth, if I ever forget them someday.
And I bet, I will not. =)
