On Friendship

Now, I feel like I see friendship differently from how I saw it long time ago when I was younger--yeah, I am admitting that I'm no longer young.
It becomes more complicated. And, no, I don't enjoy this new point of view.
I wish I still could see it the way I did before. But, people change. I change. They change--those whom I used to call friends.
My dear cousin who gave me a lift to office today told me about her excitement on seeing her beloved friends. I told her, "Enjoy it, dear. As you might see it differently later when you really grow up."
When I was little, I wished to grow up very very soon. And, now, I wish, time didn't go by that fast. I want to enjoy those days when I thought of nothing but fun. Just like my dear cousin.
I knew the fact that she was the one taking me to the office this afternoon--after we went to my grandpa's brother funeral preparation--was somehow planned by Allah. As, maybe, Allah wanted me to change (again) this new idea of mine on friendship.
I want to really enjoy friendship. I do!
to enjoy something, it is really your choice. if you choose not to enjoy it, then you won't; but if you choose to enjoy it, then you will.
friendship is not static; it's dynamic. if you say that friendship is static, then you really need to re-define what friendship really is.
friendship is not a matter of whether you're changing or not; it's a matter how you're willing to accept someone as your friend or not.
it is friendship that changing us; it is not the other way around.
