Friends…..don’t we all want them,need and crave them too, especially in the teen age when it is cool and funky to mix with a kind of people. ohhhh…..the joy of friendship!!!
The ice cream buddy, the best friend, closest one and the one who keeps your secrets, the one who knows your crush…..and teases you every time she or he passes by.
Many times you duck, then they pass by and do a u-turn and you aren’t prepared for that, so the reaction is just sweaty palms and holding your breath….wishing they just vanish….then later you day dream about that moment.
Well the fair share of the cake is not even but i have had a comfortable piece. As years go by, the tracks of many friendships can derail and yes, train stops are real, departures can be painful…
Awakened to the reality of life, i still go the nine yards, but with my loyal gang….i can smell the; ‘ you never really know someone card, and …people deserve second chances.’
I hear you on that but i choose to save my heart from multiple heartbeats at once…i mean, it takes too many handkerchiefs, we don’t have that many heart machines in Uganda and India is not my second home either.
Growth has brought me to the realization that the truth is, my ticket to friendship is respect, love and loyalty…the non monetary airway price.
I now choose who is worth my space, time and money too. I invest in growing friendships and honestly, it is easier and lighter….the mango juice is thicker too ☆☆☆☆
Off to pick my pop corn.
