Friends!!

I am a typical Libran. It takes me a lot of time to make friends. I like people who are simple. I am allergic to show offs and cunning people.

First of all, in today’s world, it’s pretty hard to find such people and then it takes me a while to trust them with my inner thoughts. By the time I am convinced that I have made a good friend, its time for the person to move on. At least that’s what has happened to me since childhood.

I found it very difficult to make friends even in school. I used to take a lot of time in knowing and trusting them completely. When I would make a close friend, something or the other would happen that would distance us. This has not happened just once, but many times. A close friend of mine shifted to another city, one left school to join a boarding school somewhere, one just disappeared into oblivion without enough reason, and another one went abroad for higher studies. Once my friends moved away it was very difficult to keep in touch with them. We exchanged letters with fervor for some time, but then just drifted apart slowly. I am in touch with a few of them even now through emails, but it’s not the same anymore.

I can never fathom why this happens to me again and again. My husband tells me that friends are there in our lives to just give us company for a while. They come into your life for a purpose and then disappear once the purpose is solved. The only permanent friends you have are your parents and your spouse. I know he is right in a way, but I still miss my friends. It still hurts every time I lose a friend.
