Almost 15 minutes struck the tick
of the clock to a quarter by noon. Some sleep I had last night with all the
good reason to stay up all night and just be someone else’s companion or let me
say it inconclusively, just a chat.
An old folk as all does say, shan’t
we talk to strangers when we were young. A good reason perhaps for the meekly
child to consider and behave himself when he is reprimanded but for an old man
as he, stranger are what we have as friends now. If not for the very first day
of school you chose to get along with some rowdy looking child as you are and
later on becomes your very companion for a lifetime. Friends―some
God’s gift, huh!?
This year, I was quite blessed to
have enjoyed the company of a few who as I can consider the best yet people
there can be. Ironic though that most of us never actually met each other and
were just conversing through some blank space, a product of human technology,
laying enslave us all… placing that away as it was not the topic of this entry.
These people barely a hunch I do know of besides the thought that we talk like
we knew something was common in all of us.
I met a med student who almost I thought
was my soul mate, who would’ve thought we had the same friend, the same ideas
when we think likely maybe you’ll think he’ll be some doctor one day and I was
a nurse so that would sum up almost everything, I guess not… for all the
reason, I was comfortable with him. Just imagine two guys, plainly, that
sounded too casual to actually share each other’s feeling unfazed that maybe
the other would divulge it but if you’d thought about that instance, we trusted
each other. On that very moment then. We did talk of way lot of things and even
those far off topics so not in the league of circumstances we should talk
about. Acting like we ever see the world in a more wisdom-filled ways as we
could imagine. Cutting through we met up, and lo, things got awkward a bit. Like
seriously it was like some first day of school. It was an experience for just
some 2 hours of being with each other, I loved it. We were casual. We were just
shy. You can laugh it out. The time may be quite ephemeral; bidding a hug
goodbye was all it took to see contentment.
It never stopped there, somehow I’d
be saying some appreciation on the social networks or just how technology
affects almost everything though I still think that we never have had any
normal lives as we did before the moment man finally perfected technology and
never halted his dreams of reaching places far off the sky. All I can say is,
my gift of friends grew a bit. I met a very good talented radio jockey,
flattered a complete fan of a student, the cheers of a fellow friend whom I shared
some thoughts on being an adult, the quintessential friend who almost got me
into lovelorn situation, an almost lover, and just almost a day ago, I met
another guest along this road I walk through… who would’ve like as I would
quote on later, we’d be talking, sharing and at that… he gave that honor of
actually knowing him more. You’d say at that I give off almost all possible
emotion I have… a yes and a no. I do give what feeling I can have for the
person to sympathize my own as I can do more care and concern if I can
understand the feeling of actually befriending him, compassionate, kind and
true as he is. A person who have so much to give, the bravest I’ve known far
off better than I am. I salute the courage he has to take and the experience he
shared with a few whom dearest with him that at least makes my own prejudices
and problems a little off guard to think about.
Once in our lives we meet people
from different walks of life, some creates good things with us, a few may do
more than just hurt or maybe strengthen us even more but there will always be
some unique number that we know at that moment would be a part of our lifetime.
This joy just keeps growing no
matter shading clouds makes it all gloomy and forlorn. All that I can think of
something important having to love people and for who they are, what they have
experienced and what they have to give is a gift more than any treasures
combined.
Clad on my own pillows, sitting
like some other fool worn out by the day’s work… staring at that bright sunny
weather outside… I say, all is well.
