Phases of Friendship

You are who you are with!. The only choice of people you get to make in your life is your friends, I could have said your life partner but I'm sure most of you didn't have a choice in this country. Friends come in our life in different packages at different times. What matters is the time & place where the delivery is made. You met a lot of people throughout your life & some became friends. They might have become your best buddy at that time but today you hardly know what is happening in their lives. The truth is we change & everybody around us does. People who knew us 10 years back don't seem to be the same & neither do we us.

The phases of friendship start from knowing that person, to become buddies & then BFFs but wait that changed because you moved out of the city for a job maybe. The first few days & months may go by sharing every detail in your life & then it just suddenly stops. One of you doesn't have time, and the calls become weekly & then monthly. Sounds bad right! The worse hits when gets married, Oh God! I literally hated when people around me started getting married. I couldn't figure out why they won't be the same but trust me if anyone ever commits to you that we will be the same they are lying because the priorities change. It took a long time for me to come to peace with it because now I realise the other person needs to know their better halves & me being around or for that matter doesn't help. They just need it & once you accept it you can move on. 

Good friends don't call everyday but when they meet they start from right where they left. They actually are your BFFs, not being able to live without someone is a myth. Our human mind is made to forget & move ahead that's what keeps us alive. We promise things that we will always stay together without even knowing what it meant at that time but today I know that when I have to cry who I call & who to share the good news with. That's what friendship is, because that is the phase of friendship which stays the longest in our lives.

PS: This post is dedicated to all my friends who make a difference in my life today & will do it always.
