Friends

There will be a lot of times in our lives when people will surprise us. The irony is, after all the warnings,even if we know that we are bound to be surprised, we still get surprised. Silly. It's not a secret. People defy rules, codes and secret agreements. People violate what may be violated. Why? Because at that moment, it feels good. Notwithstanding the repercussions, at that exact moment, we give in. We let it be.

The question remains. Was it worth it? Or was it a big waste of time and space and emotion?

We see people ruin their lives because of bad decisions.It's so easy to be logical when you're not involved. It's easy to distinguish what's right from what's wrong when it's not your happiness that's on the line. Does it mean that we shouldn't judge because we are not part of it?

That's the point.

People should start listening to other people...to friends.... if they are not in the position to make good decisions. That's how friendship operates. Friends are supposed to knock logic out of other friends. Not because they are hated, not because they are not appreciated nor accepted. Not because they are loved less, but because they are loved.

We watch each other's backs. We don't turn around and walk away... we take turns in protecting each other. It can only happen when we decide to look in the same direction. Friends don't give up when things get tough. Friends hurt each other to protect each other from far more serious pain.

Friends get disappointed at each other but they stay. Why? Because they're friends... otherwise they're just ENDS.

Inside joke: We rise... and never fall. We rise to infinity and beyond. [hehe]
