You see, thinking deeply in the middle of the night isn't really my thing. But somehow, I am sitting here on my bed just thinking about the randomest things. The topic that caught my attention was regarding friends.
The past few weeks just passed by as any semester I've experienced in the years since I started university. It's true I haven't been a good friend to my close circle of friends. Once the semester starts, BAM! I shift into this nerd mode. I'm not someone who could manage time wisely. I tend to focus on one thing at a time. That means there are always two options; spending time with friends or studying my butt off for that topical test? For me, the latter will always be my choice.
That question could be twisted into choosing between living in the moment or preparing for your future. I know friends are sometimes temporary. People change and that's inevitable. Friends turn into strangers once a barrier pops up. An example would be two friends living in two different countries.
How can you ensure a long-lasting friendship? I seriously need the formula because apparently my methods are not as successful? It's frustrating. Every time I see a friend I haven't seen in the longest time, I always feel that there is a distance. That sense of awkwardness and thinking about every word that comes out of their mouths. I'm sure I never changed how I treated them. I still have that same enthusiasm. Or is it how they perceive my actions?
