Friendship

"Let us be grateful to people who make us happy,

 they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."
-Marcel Proust

What are we to stand alone against this harsh world, we need each
other to make things easier for us to cope with the battles we have in mind.
As mentioned in TFIOS, "The world is not a wish granting factory". As sad as it may
sound, this is the reality that we face. Friends make things worthwhile. Friends
are the warmth we need when things start to get cold. They are the ones who
would make your dark days brighter. Not to mention that there are roses in the
field of flowers, you just have to be careful on which step you take.

My time here in Melbourne would have been nothing but sadness and longings
if it weren't for the friends I've met and the friends I will meet in the future. Weird
isn't it that one day you're in a new environment with no friends and family, then
a random stranger comes along and says 'hi' and somehow your days become
ever more brighter; the fact that you have friends will make a lot of difference
when you're abroad.

Two friends of mine just moved out yesterday and one of them sent a message
in our chat group saying that how devastated she felt and how she felt as if she
left something behind. Well that 'something' is actually the friends she met, the
ones who would normally eat dinner and go out together at night. I felt sad as
well knowing that I won't be seeing their faces that often now that they moved out.

This event made me think of how will I have the strength to continue my own 
journey alone ahead. Friends are the cure to when you have a heartache.
They care for you and treat you like family. Cherish your friends, no matter
where you are and where they are. Just to make sure that you don't neglect
the friends you have back home. 

Love them, cherish them and treat them well.

This is it for this post,

hope to see you again next time.

Sincerely,

Used

Scarred, lifeless and tired.

You know deep inside you deserve someone who would care and cherish you for who you are.

You know you're beautiful deep inside just like a white flower in the midst of darkness.

Sometimes the ones you thought whom would be the one weren't the ones you've been looking for all a long. They don't deserve you. No matter how low you feel about yourself, never degrade yourself as for one day, for sure, someone will appreciate every single thing you do and did in life. It's tough for when you feel lonely at times and just need someone to be by your side, as people say, people who weren't there for you when you're at your lowest, don't deserve you for when you're at your highest.

Just keep in mind that you're beautiful, intelligent and strong. You can get through this minor bump in the road in life. You're strong, for sure you are, but at certain times it's okay to break down and let everything out and pull yourself back together, for this will not only calm the raging waves inside your heart but it will also make you stronger than ever.

Never ever let people use you, no matter how weak and low you feel you are, never ever let people get the best of you. You're the lock and key to your own happiness. Never let other people be in charge of the key to your happiness since there is no such thing as someone who's worth enough to hand such fragile object.

You've been bruised, your heart is scarred by the pain you've felt in the past. You know you won't let anymore harm to come. For that you're being extra cautious to whom you trust and care. 

I am here to say that I understand what you're going through,

you're not alone and you never will be.

We are strong independent individuals and we are striving to be free from all pain.

Just remember that even if there's nobody who appreciates what you do,

I will always support you and appreciate you, for everyone has a purpose in life,

we just don't know it yet.

I hope you have a good journey ahead dear reader,

Sincerely,

Mizan Ahmad.
