“The best way to get even with someone who has left you is to meet someone new and become happy again.”
Haenim Sunim, The things you can see only when you slow down.

After a while, I realised that friends come and go. Yet, some decided to stay in my life and be more than just a friend. They become sisters, someone who rebukes and loves at the same time, but not leaving me. With that, I know that gifts of friends really exist.

Befriend means to be friendly or to act with friendly manner. For some people it may take years to be good friends, for some it takes only seconds. It actually does not really matter on how long it takes to be a good friend. Because, the key is actually in ourself. Do we really want to be a good friend?

Being a good friend starts from oneself. It takes two to tango to be a good friend. Trust each other and the most important thing is to forgive and embrace for every ups and downs.

To err is human, they said. Same thing with friendship, some times what we want is not what we say, misunderstanding is another common thing in a relationship that includes two souls. But, this is the point : do we have the stocks of forgiveness to ourselves and our friends?

Forgiving in a relationship is something that is inevitable. In fact, it is the thing that we have to cultivate to make a good relationship works. After forgiving, embracing the beautiful souls in front of us. Remember two souls who work together is just a merely human being. People make mistakes, forgive.

Maybe this is the time for you to forgive, maybe the other time is your friends’ time to forgive you. Life is just a balance of take and give, forgive and forgiven.

Rather than expecting someone to be good friend, why not we being a good friend to someone? It is indeed true like all great relationship that happens (say it relatives, dearest friends and romantic partners) they are all involve great efforts.
