Friendship

I've been meaning to write about this for quite a while now. I was actually inspired by my friend, Zarith's video, for her friend, Salsabiila. It was made because Salsabiila was changing schools, and it may seem simple, but it means a lot. I know, I'm not even close to them. You can say all you want, about me being such a busy body to go view the video and write about it and all that, but it really dug through. I teared up watching it. It was too sweet.

What a friend would do for another friend... it's just, WOW! Watching that video, it made me think of what my friends had done for me over the past few months. What they've sacrificed for me all this while. I mean, because of this, is why we need to value our friendship. Because, as Hannah Montana said in her song, True Friends,

"True friends will go to the ends of the earth
Till they find the things you need
Friends hang on through the ups and the downs
Cause they've got someone to believe in"

And she was right, friends do go to the ends of the earth to find the things you need. And as far as I know, all you need from a friend is trust and love. To know that you'll be his/her friend till the end of your time. A friend is someone that you can joke around with, a person that you can't stay mad at for so long, because you know that if you do, you'd lose a part of your life. A friend is someone you can talk to about anything. Well, best friends, but friends count too. Someone who helps you and never asks for anything in return. A best friend is someone who knows you more than you know yourself.

Trust me, that last statement is true.

Last Friday, in English class, I was smiling broadly alone. I couldn't stop doing so. A few minutes before, I told DD that I had a secret, but ended up not telling her. But the word got out to Jin Zhe and they were both asking me what secret I was talking about, so Raihah, sitting beside me, made me tell. And of course, I had to tell, 'cause I can never keep secrets from her. We're like, two peas in a pod. I didn't have enough guts to tell her straight from my mouth, so I wrote it, on my small Agama book. I said, "IthinkIlikesomebody,butIdon'treallyknowandI'mnotreallysureIdo :|"

And in a blink of an eye, Raihah wrote the name of the guy I thought I liked. She knew it from the very start. I didn't even know I liked him myself, before that day. So, it's proven. Best friends know you better than you do. Might seem weird, but when you spend time to get to know someone, it just happens. He/she will know you better than you do. That's why best friends exist. To help guide our lives.

I found this on a website,
Friendship Quotes - A good friend is someone we can count on, as well as being so much more. A friend is someone with whom we can relax and just hang out, have fun and share our innermost thoughts, deep dark secrets, lofty and noble goals, or our hopes, joys, and fears.

A good friend allows you a safe space to share your deepest thoughts and needs without worry of being judged, criticized or made to feel silly for feeling the way you do. Friends cheer each other on, laugh and cry together, and just plain commiserate and listen to each other.

That's why friends are friends....

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

Dedicated to Raihah, Dina Sabrina, Dina Dzafira, Sonia, Izyan
Syahirah and Zafirah. Thank you for completing my world.
It would have never been completed without you guys.
