CHERISH BEFORE YOU LOSE ITAfter talking to an old best friend today, I realized something. No matter how good a friendship was in the past, after breaking up, nothing can be the same, no matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you want.
Why is that? Those people mean so much to us, it just can’t be the same. No matter how close and good it used to be, it just can’t be the same. At this point I realize how much you have to cherish and hold your good or best friends, because when you look the other way they can leave and it won’t ever be the same. Even if you would find them, nothing can be the same. It depends on how long it takes to find them of course, but I know now. I know not to let go of my good friends, not even for a second. At the point you realize you miss your good friends, that’s the point where you have lost them for too long, where things can never be the same again.
The cause of the loss is not of importance; fights, distance, lazy ness, they all point to the same thing. Cherish and hold on, or else there’s nothing to hold on to anymore.
As I have wrote a lot of times, do not underestimate friendship, the word, the meaning, the people who are friends. If you really love a friend, really need a friend, really see someone as a true friend, cherish and hold on, don’t ever lose it, because it won’t come back the way you want to.
I can name a whole lot of friends who I didn’t cherish enough, didn’t hold on to enough and I wish I never did that.
Don’t blame stuff on growing up, changing and that stuff. Those people helped you grow up, helped you change and you can’t leave them out of the rest of your life.
Cherish and hold on, that’s wht I realized, that’s my lesson for today, that’s what I know now…
