HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY : 2 min read

So, Friendship Day it is. Some say it's silly, some label it frivolous, and others find it unnecessary. Yet, I spent time sending these unnecessary wishes.

I chose a few run-of-the-mill broadcasts. Then I stopped at names who deserved more. And looked for customised individual thoughts. I found some on my list who don't exist in my life anymore; they moved on. Some names appear in the summers of life but run at the slightest roar of thunder. I found ones resembling a burst of spring and some dreary as autumn. Some who always remained like a rock and some who shook the very rock I stood upon. Some are my heroes, while some compel me to rise and be my own hero. Some left me alone, and some stuck on, no matter what.

A few are precious gifts of generosity in my life that make me revel in the richness of the relationship. Some are my 24/7 laugh line and sunshine. And some who forced me to create my own sunshine as I wiped tears.

Found a bunch of names who have broken me. Found some more who are still building me. Some made me feel I should have no friends, while others stood out because they taught me to be friends. Some who know my love, laughter and tantrums. Some see the pain behind a smile and understand the join in my tears. With some, I need to bring nothing but myself to the table. And yet others who turn the table always to their gain. Some that made life wonderful, and those that made me wonder about life.

I smiled at the phrase “friends forever”. Perhaps it has a deeper meaning. Maybe it means whether they stay or walk away, they still leave an indelible mark on your life. They remain a part of your life forever.

Thank you, friends! For all, you did for me. It all added to make me "ME".

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY - to friends of yesterday, today and tomorrow.
