Faith, Trust and Acceptance- The Basis of Friendship


Sometimes doubt seems to fill my mind 
And I can't leave the past behind 
Got to take things one at a time 

Just believe and it will be fine

So many things have happened these couple of weeks.

So many friendships fell apart in front of my eyes.

So many options to take, so many choices made.

But today, I want to talk about FAITH, the one thing that should govern your choices.

Now, according to Oxford's Dictionary, 

and I totally agree.

Even between friends, faith is one of the most important things that friendship is built on.

So what happens when a friendship runs out of faith, trust and acceptance?

But how do you define friendship in the first place?

To me, to be a friend, you have to be there when I need you, and similarly, allow me to be there when you need me too.

But first, we need to communicate. How else would we know what is going on in the other's life? Communication doesn't have to be about the deepest things in life, being all philosophical all day. We should feel comfortable around each other, and be able to double text without feeling like: 'OMG! I double texted! Will he/she think that I am annoying?'

Shouldn't we be able to just tell each other about our day? Be it awesome or horrible, or even if its just average. This is even more so when we have feelings to express, be it a classmate who pissed you off, or an annoying teacher who you don't really like.

Then if you are uncomfortable around me, then what's the point of even being friends? What's the point of even being acquaintances?

What's the point of me even being in your life?

I might as well just disappear from your life. I could even save myself some dignity and find the correct person who will support me all the way, just like how he/she will allow me to support them.

Just look at point number 1, how can I have complete trust when you push me away?

Oh and by the way, not wanting to disturb your friend is definitely not a valid to neglect the friendship.

If happen to read this, and you know who you are, I'm sorry for putting this online, but I promise your identity will still be confidential.

Got to take things one at a time 
Just believe and it will be fine

So to all those out there who are facing some sort of trouble, sit down with a trustworthy friend and just let it all out. After the conversation, just make sure that you have a solution and as I tell my friends, even if your tactic is to pull the disappearing act and avoid the situation altogether, just fake it till you make it.

Till the next time, HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!! :)
