Friendship, reality or myth?

Friendship, myth or reality?

Friendship. For me, it's a complex term. According to my personal beliefs, a friend is someone who will cherish me, will be with me in any situation and specially who will understand the inner me. And friendship is the bonding which acts like a rope and ties up two or more persons. It's the most complex bond, yet the most beautiful bond ever.

I'm an introverted person. So it was quite hard for me to create any kind of bonding with others. But from the very childhood, my inner self always wanted a person who will understand me as I am, with whom I can share all of my feelings and childish thoughts and other stuff. Just like any other people want. So yes, luckily I found some. There was one specific  person with whom I spent more than 10 years, considering him as my best friend.

But reality was too harsh for me! Once I heard a quote, " You might not be the best friend of your best friend." I thought what a lame quote! But nature proved me wrong! So I found that quote right. Thus the most beautiful bond became a myth to me. But I can't forget the good memories and the moment I lived with him and others to the fullest!

Then the second phase of my life came, I had to leave my house for college. Here I made some friends, they were my hostel roommates. As Mobile phones were not allowed in the hostel, we had much time to spend with each other, we usually went out and explored new places there, had a muri party in our hostel room etc. There are endless good memories of mine. After a bad experience in friendship, I found the new bond more strong and stable compared to the previous one. So yes, my thoughts about friendship started to change.

But after college life, we went through a vital phase of life, which is the admission period. In that time, I lost all of them! I tried to be connected with them, but maybe nature didn't want to! 

It was a great shock for me, I became alone! The bond became a myth to me! 

But as before, I always remember the good memories with them. If a myth gives me pleasure and makes me happy for a while, then why become sad for the unexpected incidents!

Now I'm in university, studying architecture, my dream subject. So here I found a bunch of people again. At first i thought i will be alone, will complete my studies here and leave, but people find their kind of people, basically nature connects them maybe. The same thing happened to me, I found my people, I'm happy with them and living my fullest. I do projects with them, make mini tours and such things with them and make good memories. I know nothing is permanent. Neither human, nor any bond. But I also know that good memories help to heal us during our worst time. If nature is giving me the opportunity to make such good memories, why not using the opportunity! I hope the previous incidents won't repeat.

The most important thing, friendship with others might be a myth, but friendship with inner self is not! After a long suffering, I became friends with myself. During bad times, my inner self consoles me. I also do things to make my inner self happy. I do painting, I listen to songs and sing songs which always makes my inner self happy.

The short life of man is very strange. Understanding one part of life ends the rest. So in this short life, you should always try to give yourself time, because at the end of the day you are the only friend of yours. Other friendship might become a myth but friendship with yourself is the only permanent and real bonding ever. In the short life span, passing time with grief is the follest work ever. So make permanent friendships with yourself and be happy.
