I always say that I'm the kind of guy who loves to make friends where ever I find myself. Though I might be the last person to begin a conversation with a total stranger, but I sure will flow along if they do. But you see, making friends also comes with its burdens and the worse burden of all is when you have to say goodbye to them.
We really don't think about things like this when making friends because if we do, we might end up being alone with no friends because no one loves the sadness that comes with saying goodbye. I remember back then in high school, after our final exam, the school had hosted a party for its student and we all came and had a good time but about two days after the party, that was when the sadness began to set in.
I for one started to miss my classmates and all of my friends, I started to remember the funny things we would do in class and often time I found myself just smiling or laughing sheepishly. I visited those whose home was closeby but there were those who stayed far away that I still haven't seen or heard from till date. I remember how sad I was for a while, but then they say time heals all wounds and it did, I soon got used to living my life without thinking about them anymore.
Well, I'm about to go through another sad phase again because my school just finished its second semester exams and you know what that means, the final year students will be moving out of the school environment to go stay at home while waiting to begin their youth service. I happen to have this really close friend of mine who I helped packed some of his things today, it was a bit emotional for me but I tried hiding my feelings because of the "Guy mentality". It would be a bit weird for everyone (including myself) to see me cry just because a friend of mine was moving out. The guys would not make me hear the end of it, they would make fun of me until I leave this school, so I made sure to keep my emotions in check.
But yeah, my heart is a bit broken today and I know that there would be more heartbreaks to come. I just have to try and be prepared for it because at the end of it all, life goes on.
