Who's Your Friends?

Everybody have their own friends, but not many knew who their friends are. Just knowing their names can already be considered as friends. Well, this concept is well known and mostly applied, especially in Facebook. It's almost like they're abolishing the word "acquaintance" from this world.

There is a difference between being an acquaintance and being a friend. An acquaintance is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have something in common with and who you feel comfortable around.

A friend is someone you love. Not that you are "in love" with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are not there. The people you are reminded of when you see something they might like, and you know this because you know them so well. They are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head regardless.

*But this concept is totally different from Facebook though, but whatever.

People nowadays jumble up the meaning of friendship with acquaintances, colleagues, classmates, etc. In fact, not all those around you are your friends. A friends is someone that is truly sincere towards you, in which the ones who will be there for you when you're in troubles and hardships, and will always try to be the one beside with you to the very end.

Friends are the person who share you their ears for you to share your troubles with, and vice-versa. Friends don't always have to be the person sharing the same room with you, the person in your class, neither the person working in the same place as yours. It's a relationship you build up through feelings, trust, and understanding towards each other. Friendship lasts, even if you're separated miles away from each other for some time. You won't find any awkwardness towards each other when you bound to meet again in the future.

Well, it's good to have many acquaintances, even better if you have more friends, and you know how to appreciate your friends.
