After passing my boards, When I joined college, I was sceptical, as in I didn’t know if I would be able to make too many good friends. You see I was never the friendly kind. Didn’t really have too many friends in school.
So at first I was a little wary. I only spoke to a few people. I didn’t want to seem too loud or all over the place.
The first two years went by in a jiffy. When I started FYBCom, I had planned a new route for my life.
I joined the Student Council. I started attending the council meetings, meaning I started making new friends, guys and girls alike. I made friends with my peers and my seniors. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that I made some of the best friends in my life.
Just as things were settling in, my dad told me that we were going to relocate. Just as I was starting to discover myself, it felt like all my dreams, all my plans, everything was going astray.
I only had a little time left with my friends. I only had so much to spend with them. And although they all assured me that they would keep in touch, we knew better than to believe our own words.
The flow of letters and phone calls slowly started ebbing away as we all got more and more busier with our own lives.
My best friendships didn’t really last long or should I say I didn’t get as much time with them. But they have been my best friends for life and will always be. Whether we stay in touch or not.
Life is at best, bittersweet, to give you the very best and then just taking it away. Just give it your best shot and see what lies ahead.
