Best Friend

There is a saying that "it is better to have few real friends than a thousand fake ones." It is true for me, regardless of the fact that I am not good at making a lot of friends. For all these times, I only have few close friends. Compared to my other classmates, I might seem like an antisocial or introverted person. However, I was very happy that my friends, although not many, were always there in no matter what situation I was. They were (and still are) amazing to me. 

Upon graduation, unfortunately, some moved to other cities to continue their own journey in life: pursuing higher level of study or working. I, meanwhile, stay here to gain more experience working in a local institution and look for chances to continue my study. With our own business, it is, I admit,  quite hard to maintain our relationship. Sure, there are electronic devices and social media to still keep in touch easily. With the help of electronics, they might be there for you although they are far but, like it or not, we have got to move on with our lives by ourselves. In every stage of life, friends come and go. I am grateful that I still have got ones who remain here with me.

Up to now, there is a particular friend I've always been together with ever since I was in my first semester of my university. At first, I thought that she was a nosy person as she kept asking me about my grades. She often fussed over how she could get some scores she thought she didn't deserve. That often became our topic of talk every time we met. However, as I got to know her, I found out that we have similarities in our thoughts and principles despite our background differences. We complete each other and talking to her makes me feel better because she understands me. I learn from her and she learns from me. I thank her for spending time with me and share many things together although good things don't always happen to us. I hope we can always support each other and forever be best friends. My prayers are with her, especially in facing the thesis defense and life afterwards. Good luck, Bu Man.
