friendship

a friend just asked me recently y i was being so nice to him even though we're not close and given the context of how our friendship started and is now, there's a bigger chance of not ever developing it if i want to.
wat makes a good friend?
which qualities do u prefer in the other person to decide whether it's worth ur effort to maintain the friendship?

to me friendship is very important. given my family situation, i guess its easier for me to seek laughter from my friends and comfort in the few that im really close to. everyone thinks me as being very open and friendly to everyone else but i really pick the ones that i want to keep in contact with much less share my thots with.
since last year, ive been travelling so much, making friends all over the world esp with this semester, its really hard for me to hold down a group of friends im always with. but there's always the few that i will always go back to no matter where i am. they are my strong pillar of strengh when i need their help. and they know who they are :) my life is always so much better when they're around
when im done with this semester in hk, i would haf made friends all over europe and i really hope that i will be able to keep in contact with the few that ive gotten close to but its going to be really hard. who knows how many more times in my lifetime im going to get to see them again. i think if im lucky hopeful at the most twice? unless i decide to move to europe and then i'll haf problems with the friends ive made in the US.
im really so blessed and lucky to haf met all these different people from all over the world that to an extent im not really looking forward to going back to cali next semester and miss all these people here. life will definately be so much more mundane.

different people come and go all through my life and the thing is im only 21 and there'll be so many more that will open my eyes to what the world can offer. each and everyone of the friends that i haf spent time with are all little treasures that God has given me to teach me new things. to expose me to the different people out there coming from all sorts of background who will make their mark in my life one way or another.

got a call yesterday from a really unexpected person. it was a really good phonecall that im glad things between us haf not gone sour. this is one friendship i hope to last for a long long time. spent over an hour catching up on what we've missed out on each other's lives but i feel as if i still haf more to catch up on. hopefully we'll be able to spend more time next semester jus doing that.

with this my dearest of dearest friend will be coming in 3 days!!!!!!!!! and im so looking forward to that :)

~love lots to all my friends esp those who are having finals with me too!

i guess im jus feeling a little pensive today coz of the stress of finals and the thot of leaving hk soon
