“Unexpected Friendship” By: Shella Escosio “Life frequently throws us into transitions that create openness to new friendship we might not have if life were moving along smoothly and predictably. Facing unfamiliar circumstances, new expectations, and the loss of former supports can engender a need for someone new to come into our lives” It was a day of hardship and extraordinary when I met my friend. At that time I was a loner, trying to fit myself in a group of people. On the other hand my friend, loss a close friend. I was looking for a friend, but she lost a friend. Me as a person, I hate seeing someone or somebody losing a friend. It may not be my problem anymore, but I couldn’t accept the fact that a friendship might be over. I did my best to fix their problem, and I did it. They were friends again, but we cannot change the fact that things will never be the same as before. We can never take back what has lost. Because of what I did, I became close to that group. I never expected that coming. That group accepted me for who I am, and I also accepted them for what they are. It’s like give and take or vice versa. Then I and my friend became so close together. I found an awesome bond of friendship to her, that I myself couldn’t explain it. It’s like God put us together not just being friends, but like being sisters. We also found great similarities to each other. Not just in likes and dislikes, but almost everything. We even have weird but awesome birthdays. That’s why we made a weird nickname. We have same attitude sometimes. We also tease each other, laugh at all things, we do jokes. And most especially we are like cats and dogs, because we fight often. She’s as crazy as I am. It’s like two worlds collided. I remember these quotes in one of the book I read: “Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born”. -ANAIS NIN- “What is exciting is not for one person to be stronger than the other… but for two people to have met their match and yet they are equally as stubborn, as obstinate, as passionate, as crazy as the other”. -BARBARA STREISAND- One of the amazing things in our friendship is that we learned from each other. I teach her many things. I teach her not to give up on things. I told her that “Giving up when things get hard, doesn’t make life easy”. ‘Cause giving up was never been a choice. I also teach her to be strong in facing problems in life. And on the other hand, my friend may think that she didn’t do anything for me. Well she was wrong. Because of her I learned to appreciate those little things: act of love, kindness, happiness and more. She taught me how to care for my friends. And she showed me that having a friend is much more worth it, than being a loner. That’s why I am always been thankful of having a kind of friend like her. We may always fight and she may even think that I’m giving up our friendship. Well I won’t, because I teach her not to give up so I’m not giving up either. And when the time comes that we both have separate lives, we may have different companions. I just promise one thing, that I’m still going to be the same person she used to know. My friend stated: “Bonding with FRIENDS is one my valuable treasure that even money can’t buy”. For the last part, Our Friends make us laugh, listen to us when cry, tell us the truth -even when it’s difficult to say- and stand up for us when necessary. They sometimes know us better than we know ourselves, and understand us when no one else does. My Friend K-K was always there for me.
