Can it be rephrased as free ends?
Just a random thought and an urge to write something and I ended up with this basic question.
Why do we need friends?
You’d say ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed’
You’ll say we need someone to talk to, someone to share our thoughts/feelings and so on.
You’d say you need company to go out, to shop, to explore places, so a friend could be the best person to fill this place
You may also befriend someone because you have similar likes/dislikes
You always get to here goodie goodie stuff when u talk about friends and having friends. You’d also boast for the kind of/number of friends you have.
These same friends though are really essential part of our lives, they aren’t at the best of their behavior and attitude some time or the other. You take a lot of shit.. from different people in different ways at different times. Its about how patient you are, how long are you ready to hold on and give your best. Through these ups and downs you still try to continue being good/best/nice friends.
Like above I ve put up a few lines that come to ones mind when you think of friends in a positive (normal) way. What if I play around a bit with my thinking process and try to recollect instances and ways when I haven’t really liked or understood these specimens whom I call friends.
These specimens show the maximum attitude, at times even more than they possess.
All their ego comes into forefront with you, as if they were Sachin Tendulkar of Cricket or Aishwarya Rai of bollywood.. reality check pleaaaaaaseee!!!!!
Talk about the word ignorance and I bet the dictionaries of the world can rephrase the meaning some how and include the word friend in its explanation. They’d ignore you as if you never existed or were never noticed and then pounce back on you accusing you of being ignorant! Crap…!!
If there is a last person from whom you must expect something, then it cant be anyone else than for a friend. Do all that you can, be as good a friend tat u can be and whatever, but never ever except something, that is if u don’t wanna be disappointed..!
Remember the last time someone hung up a call on u? I can bet it would have been a friend!! No one else in the world would be nice enough to do this.. They can hang up on u whenever they like, as many times they like! All u get to do is take it!!
Wait a minute, hanging up is just one part of the story, the other part is even more funny.. they wont take ur call, fine they are busy, they wont return back that missed call also!!
Did I say missed calls just now? Ouch. Wait…!! Where do I fit in unanswered text msgs and gtalk pings? And what about those BRB’s which at times seems to one like ‘Bye!! REALLY BYE!!!!’ and not whatever u thought it meant all this while, cos they never come back! They are so damn busy tat they don’t even afford to answer you back.. True enough.. it’s a waste of time and energy to respond to some crap you’ve sent. They rather not do formality..
You could have had the best of the times of ur life with them but at times you also tend to get the worst of the treatment u ever deserved. You try, u try hard, u give ur 100% every time, u get taken advantage of, u get diplomatic answers, u get ignored and u end up seeing them changing over time (obviously for the not so good) and all u get to do is, Take it all! Just sit back and watch… and what do u do finally?? Give UP!! Either the friendship or your own ego/attitude/ self respect (now this is exaggeration)!!!
Someday people will realize your worth. They have always needed u and they’ll need u. and then u show them!! Wat it takes!!! But why would you? If u wanted to, u would have already..!! So u just go with the flow, and understand that its FREE ENDS!! Meaning either of the person are free to do whatever they like, how ever they like from their end!! No questions asked! If required only answered or better put explained.
Anyways everything is not just one sided, there are various things above tat even you do at times and even you receive from these over valued people called Friends. Anyways world cant change, you got to have friends and live with what you are and what they are.. Rest is individual traits.
P.S – Just an out of the ordinary way of venting it out, held this in drafts for quite long. Finally thought its ok to post it, anyways who cares?? :D and for heaven sake don’t ask me questions like what/who triggered this post, am not gonna answer.
