Friend or not?

Having a friend is something really special.

She knows everything you've been through. He believes in you even when you stop believing in yourself. She calls just to say hi. He knows all your little quirks. . Even though she can't understand your pain, she'll be there. He'll do everything he can to make you smile. She knows you're feeling down even when you're smiling and saying you're absolutely fine.

But then again, even though that friend may be in your life, they'll not necessarily be there all the time. When things start moving forward, when life stopped at High School... After Graduation... That's where the struggle to keep your friends begin. You're not going to be in the same class anymore and wait for a few days to patch things up when you have a fight. One small misunderstanding and everything blows away. It takes years to bulid a friendship and seconds to destroy one. You learn to compromise, you learn to talk things out and you learn that hanging out from now on are going to be treaured moments in the future.

Then meanwhile, as you enter the 'new chapter' of your life... You got to make new friends. As you progress into a higher level, it gets difficult to know who's your real friend. You have to wait and see how things progress to find that correct friend. But that progress is hard. It's tedious. And it just feels like no one wants you in their life. You're going to have to improve your socialising skills and make friends with people your exact opposites even if you're feeling uncomfortable. You learn to depend on yourself, take care of yourself, without them.

You learn to adapt to change. Because either you change or you're at the bottom of the foodchain.
