why do we need friends?
someone ever asked me why we can be friends one day. and the next, we behave like strangers...throughout my course of education, i've joined and left several groups.
i use to think that, friends are forever. that those who've stuck through thick and thin with you, will remain with you for life.
that's what i use to think of my secondary school friends. but, after we graduate and separate for other schools, everything changed.
maybe many others are luckier than me. i personally took it pretty hardly. i was confused and rather lost. but i guess i've learnt, not to take things like these too seriously. what's more impt is that we've shared happy moments together. something we all can look back on fondly.
i learn now that groups of friends are essentially psychological and emotional things that all humans yearn and seek out, especially in unfamiliar environments.
imagine, walking into school, alone...wouldn't it be great when you can walk into a room, and be greeted by many familiar faces, and warm smiles? compared to going to school alone and be alone. we are all social beings. we are drawn together by a common force, common goal, or common enemy. we need to belong.
at this moment, i'm yet in another big group of friends. people come and people go. the main ones are still here. now there're about 16-18 of us. one friend asked me, will we meet up again after we graduate?well, i said, the only thing that's holding the group together at the moment, is the impending exams. what's to say in the future? i do not know.
