best friend, BFF, whatchuwannacallit?

long long midnight chat

you know the saddest thing in life is to get misunderstood. you think of one person as your very best friend but the other person tells you right in your face that you're just some common nobody in his/her life. a friend was sharing about this "mishap" in his recent life. shan't discuss too much about it, i'd like to respect his issues i guess.

it's quite strange but i think being a BFF, "best friend" or "buddy" or whatchuwannacallit is just a label people give to other people and the label does change from day to day. just one question though, does it matter? does it matter if that person thinks of you as a best friend or just a common friend? the way i see it, it's just a matter of feelings rather than labeling. don't get me wrong, i do have my hidden list of "buddies"...

everybody wants to be special (ask sylar if you don't believe me), to be more concise everybody wants to be special for some people. if i give you this much, you should reciprocate that much too. sadly, it doesn't work that way. friendship is a lot like love, it involves a lot of uncertainty and risk. you're putting your feelings right down there on the line but by doing so you will have the best friends in your life.

think of it the finance way, the higher the risk.... (everybody says) the higher the return. i think most of the time it is better to do things because you want to (regardless of what the other party thinks or wants) rather than being forced too. everything in this world is a choice, no one forces anything to us. ultimately it is us who choose a certain option. yes, there'd be people who try to shove their piece of mind in our lives but if you don't like it, we're always free to walkaway.

i guess we all shouldn't worry so much, people do stumble a little every now and then. it is how we pick ourselves up and continue walking that counts. just be yourself and the rest will fall in its own places. as the sermon last sunday said, God created us all beautiful in every sense and meaning - there's no reason to be somebody else :)
