The Hero and the Villain...

Dear journal,


Every hero has a sidekick; every villain, a partner in crime.
I don't think I would survive the challenges of my life without my friends. When I had the biggest heartbreak, I went to them for comfort, and they were there to help me patch the fragments back. When I was in my lowest in college, they were there to remind me that my brain was still inside its skull and I can still use it no matter what other people said. And when I lost my confidence in the Divine Being, they guided me back to the light of righteousness and, for the nth time, told me not to lose faith.

Our friends are the people who are not in our bloodline, and yet act as our brothers and sisters. You will actually find them anywhere only if you are open to every possibility of friendship. But you have to be finicky, too, for not everyone can be your friends. Some are just meant to be others, and nothing more.

Do you know how to choose rightly? Well, it's easy. Try to throw all of them in a pool, and whoever floats are those to be incinerated and be avoided. Why? Fakes are plastics; they float.

One of my favorite tv series is FRIENDS. I have watched all the episodes from season 1 to 10, and I enjoyed every one of them. I can probably relate with all the craziness that the show depicted, and the hilarious characters from Joey to Phoebe. If I can have half of the love they were able to show there, I will already be contented and satisfied.

But I am; I mean, contented and satisfied.

TV series or not, establishing significant kinships and meaningful liaisons are consequential things that we cannot afford to neglect in our life. May it be a sidekick or a partner in crime, all of us were born with someone on our side.

I remind myself of what I wrote before:

Time does not last longer than friendship... for it is with friendship that we count one lifetime and not with every second that passes by...

I rest my case... c",)

Remember, lightning could strike anytime...
