The beauty of frendship

I was trying to choose a subject on the next series of posts under the category “My thoughts and stories” and I wondered: “what is that important as love and happiness?”. To me that’s friendship. And with the approaching holidays, that’s the right time to think a little bit more about our friends and family. Especially if they are not close to us. Enjoy your time with the people you love while you have this opportunity, because one day may be too late. We should learn to appreciate the moments with our friends and family while they last, not to always run after “the future”. Now is what we have and now is the moment we should enjoy.

Nowadays when people travel so much and re-locate all the time, probably most of you know what means to be far away from the people you love. It is hard to get used to the idea that you won’t see them every day, you can’t call when you need someone to talk to, you can’t just go for a walk with a friend. And I know I am going to miss these people even in 10 years, because that’s the true friendship to me – even if you haven’t seen someone for months or years – to still love and miss him like you’ve always been together. And you just know – there is a person somewhere in the world that you can rely on forever.

Sometimes customers call the office and ask me if I am still feeling lonely and when I say “yes”, they told me to give up, just to move on, because I am not going to meet real friends here and I can’t feel sorry for the one I miss all the time. But I don’t want to give up, how can you give up on the people you love??? Probably very soon I will find people that understand friendship the way I do……or maybe I met them already…who knows. That’s why life is so interesting - because people are different, they cherish various things, they have other values, they care about different people. But now is Christmas time, family holiday, so please think more about your close people and friends, buy them something nice, show appreciation. Tell them: “I love you” – it always makes a difference.
