For you, yes you.

Considering the fact that i'm still living with my parents, the group of friends that i have around me at the moment, are at the very minimal. Since i'm back in my hometown, my friends are mostly my childhood friends. The ones i've known since kindergarten. No kidding. And since we practically grew up together, i'd say we're quite close. But then again, maybe not so much because right after we finished school, naturally, all of us went our separate ways.

And to be honest i think the years AFTER that was when we really GREW in an even bigger sense of the word. What i'm trying to say is, the friends we made during our late teens to early 20s are the different kind of friends. Even more so, we lived together, away from our parents. We survived together. Wake, sleep, study, go hungry, stay up late, be broke, together. I believe that made the bond stronger. But this is just my opinion, of course.

And then there's another point in my life, when i started living on my own, a while after i graduate. Almost the same kind of circumstances. But this time, in a much bigger scale. With a lot more responsibilities. Job, house rent, groceries, car, bills and what-have-yous. The friends i made around this time were, like me, on their way to pave their own paths to the adult life. Finding stability. Some found it in a significant other, some found it in their career, some found it in academic, some, still finding. Fortunately for me, these friends are the same ones that i made in my early twenties. And plus a bunch of great new ones!

And now that I'm back in my hometown. Where my life rarely goes out of the routine, my friends are just my colleagues. My childhood friends who are now all happily married, well we kinda grew apart because of the different lives we lead.

So since i rarely go out with my friends aka my colleagues, my life basically revolves around my family. As much as i love spending time with my family, i need a some kind of escape, every once in a while. i'm only human after all. So i began making new friends on Twitter. It's amazing. Then i started making friends on Instagram too! I would never have imagined. This day and age, anything's possible. Lol! I even managed to meet one of them. How cool is that! I have a few that i've become quite close with that i wish i could meet, someday. Hopefully, insyaAllah.

Thank you, friends. Each and every one of you. You won't believe how big of an impact you have in my life. We may not talk anymore, or chat on facebook anymore, just know that i appreciate you. All of you, have helped made me the person that i am today. I thank Allah for lending you to me, and i pray that Allah will make things easier for you, wherever you are. May we be blessed in this world and the hereafter, Amin.
