I believe friends are angels in disguise. I believe they have been sent to each one of us in one form or another, be it a parent, a neighbor, a lover, a classmate, a colleague or that random person you met at that long queue and struck up a conversation with who now happens to be your best friend. Friends are the first ones you go to when you need to talk, when you need a shoulder to cry on. The ones you go to when you think no one else will understand you. They are also the ones who accept you, mood swings, tears, bad days, good days and all. They are the ones who know you in and out, your secrets, your past, that side of you that you’d rather no one saw and still accept you and love you anyway.
If you’re lucky you might find a friend who lasts you a lifetime. Else, you might be like me, trying to cherish all the memories and hold on only to those moments that remain. When you’ve been friends with someone for a while, when you know each other well, you tend to take them for granted. That’s probably the biggest mistake you’ll ever make. Taking this delicate relationship or any other relationship for that matter, which requires nurturing, loving and attention for granted is the reason we lose that relationship. That delicate, beautiful gift. It’s so easy to lose it. I’ve learnt it the hard way.
Sometimes you fight and that only means you care and know that a fight wont break this bond. Sometimes the biggest fights seem so insignificant when you look back on them later. Sonetimes you look back together and laugh at them and other times its just better to forgive and forget. Sometimes a fight ends the relationship and it is better left alone.
I've learnt that not always can you save a friendship. I've learnt that every friendship, however long the duration, changes you and teaches you a few lessons. I've also learnt that the word friend is the most misused word. People sometimes use you in the name of a friend. People take advantage of you in the guise of a friend at times.
Eventhough it is misused at times, friendship is one of the best things in life. I've made many friends, I've lost a few, a few have used me, a few only remain in my memory but i cherish every one of them. Regardless of whether the friendship still exists or not, whether we are still in contact or not, whether we see each other or not i still cherish each and every one of them and i still care the same. Maybe thats a weakness, but i feel its better that way to never hate or forget a friendship because of a few misunderstandings or distance.

To all my friends - whether we still see each other, or talk to each other, whether we fought or misunderstood each other...I love you guys :)
