What then remains...
Posted at 7:53:00 PM by aFTi RuSLi
It's 7.17 pm and I'm back in office from KL, after waiting two hours for a meeting that ended up being cancelled. So here I am, back at work and concurrently convincing myself what I do has purpose. Which is kinda ironic because some of my friends think that I bloody am proud of what I do and what they do don't matter. What they don't know is for most times, I wish I had their jobs instead.....
I've gone through a lot of competitions throughout my life. But I do not go through my life like it's a competition. I can compete, but I'm not competitive. So I do not measure the worth of my friends based on what they do, how much they make, what car they drive, how many properties they own or how perfect their spouses and kids are. It already means the world to me that they consider me as a friend.
No matter how long the friendship remains, the persons within that circle will certainly change. Their lives will change, their statuses may change, their thoughts, outlook and opinions will change as they grow older and hopefully wiser. These changes will definitely widen the differences within that circle. But the differences shouldn't be used to reevaluate each person's worth to the point that it crumbles the friendship. We're not like buildings or machinery that need to be regularly evaluated to see its economic value to the business.
I just wish that you would see it that way too. You matter to me regardless. Do I even matter to you? Or am I just here when the friends that matter aren't there for you?
