For Friendship

"Celui qui n'est plus ton ami ne l'a jamais été." Aristotle
"The friendship that can cease has never been real." Saint Jerome


If I had to describe the year that is going by, I would describe it as a year very high on emotion and unfortunately drama. As much as I do like to alienate myself from the latter, it seemed to hurl itself at me most tactfully, choosing the time I was most unaware of his kindling: Unbraced I handled him awfully.

Time came as the healer. As days passed, the incident began to slowly fade. However, looking in hindsight, it was a clear demarcation, a 'wanted impurity' in my otherwise relatively homogeneous life.

I call it a wanted impurity because it taught me so much. Otherwise haplessly naive, I understood the master piece of a human mind and its tendencies. I lost friends in the process but at the same discovered those who were truly mine. I saw the side of me I detested enough to never unleash it again. But, more than anything, I began to appreciate myself for who I am all over again. Anything for this kind of dawining!
