As of lately, especially since being single, the one thing I have learnt to appreciate more is my friendships.
I think it is always important for one to have friends. To have people around them that they can trust, lean on and enjoy life with. Life was never meant to be spent every single day in lonliness. There is one quote I always remember when thinking about my friendships and what they mean. I have heard many different versions of it, but it is the only one I could find that would suit best (thankyou Google!). "Friends are God's way of taking care of us." When I remember that quote, it always seems to comfort me. It reassures me that God does care and He isn't leaving me in the world to fend for myself.
Last night I had an interesting conversation in his car as he was driving me home from Pizza Hut. We talked of many things but I guess it didn't bother either of us if we didn't make sense of what we were saying, because we were enjoying each other's company and it's those moments I have with friends that I like the most.
Another thing I learnt from last night is that I like it when people take the time to listen to my own views and opinions, and I guess that is what my friend appreciated also. I wish there were more people out in the world like that. There needs to be more people that don't criticize you when you're speaking your own mind, that put all their thoughts aside and just listen to you speak. I find people who constantly interrupt or talk about what they want to say overwhelming. Of course, they can speak their own opinion, but there is a time for that and I
think that it should be our aim to be selfless and let others speak before us.
