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,

Mizan Ahmad.
