Friends forever!!

In our life, we meet many people, make many decisions that change the way we look at life… some people just touch the surface of us while some others touch the soul and more. Probably these people become more than just friends, probably they become best friends… you never know when you meet them. It wouldn't be wrong to call them your life partner, because no matter what, no matter who comes or goes in your life, they just remain constant in your life, like solid pillars, being the ultimate source of strength till they break down themselves. But over time expectations begin, and when the other person can’t meet up to those expectations, that are when things go wrong. The more you love someone, the more they tend to offend you – that’s the rule I guess. And then there comes a time when you’ve had enough with the offenses and you need a break desperately. Then there comes the long interval that you wanted so much. It’s also a time of introspection, but the outcome’s never positive, not in my case at least! It’s just another way to accumulate all the hate and pile it up into one big ball of anger within you. And nothing in the world can make sense in you to forgive and forget. Forgiving is just something that you can’t bring yourself to do it, no matter how close you are to doing it, no matter how many times your anger has been proved wrong…

After a very long time, you get tired of being angry; get tired of holding up the same reasons for so long and you just wanna get over with it. But there’s a part of you that doesn’t wanna give up. And one fine day, u realize – what’s the use of being angry on someone on whom you can never get angry in the first place? You realize that forgiveness is the best thing that could ever happen and you could just let it all go… all the pent up anger and frustration and whatever evil you had within you, it just goes away when you see that one genuine smile meant solely for you. The day that realization hits you, it’s all forgotten. It’s as if you have learnt to cast a full – fledged Patronus against all the internal Dementors of pain and anger (read Harry Potter for further references!) and that is the moment you realize that your friendship has turned a new leaf, has become more mature, allowing leniency to commit mistakes and forgive them, giving each other more space. That is when you rediscover the joys of having a best friend for life; that is when you rediscover how much you can love a person and still have space left within you to love more; that is when you realize that you've become a better human being. And it’s all because of one or a few special person/s that has in a very gruesome yet effective way helped you change to a new and a better person.

A big thank you to all my best friends out there for bringing out the best in me, for bringing about that change in me and making me a better person… J
