A true meaning of friends with benefits.

Who we are right now, whatever type of personality we have, and even how successfully we are at this moment, these are absolutely a product of the total number of insights contributed by all of our friends since childhood that been part of our molding process.

Friends are real treasure with out price tag; but, the most precious investments we can ever had.

Maybe we can’t remember all of their names; but, the learning they have thought us will be retained.

 

Can we still remember the pick up lines of every friend we encounter; Though, mostly more

on correction and insult with out intention to mean anything? Like: ” can you please eat in silence, it’s only the animals that eat louder”(sharmane), “you look chubby today”(nathan), some help us shift our personality from being steady type to dominant: ” try to speak up! the person you are upset with is not a fortune teller who can forecast your sentiments and maybe born to be insensitive, so your silence will lead to nothing, and will not make you feel better later on”(kathleen), motivational: “you can do it! you’re too creative, really! continue your craft”(katrina), giving mature mindset: : “making friends with others doesn’t mean we can’t be friends anymore, we just need to build more connection to grow”(alexandra).

How many semester we had passed and happily say “save by the friend”? How many friends to lovers conversation where we used ” I love you, but I’m afraid for our friendship to be ruined if it doesn’t work out”? How many times we’ve heard this before, during, after break up “don’t be stupid! forget him/her”? How many back up line ” don’t worry about the expenses, this will be a once in a life time experience” to support us in going out of town with out permission? How many gigs where we become center of beer session, and let the strangest person

inside us came out easily with out hesitation to shout “I’m the king of the bar!” How about the number of hug comfort and whisper “how boring life will be, without friends beside me”? Even as we grow older, at work where life seems to be serious and toxic, a friend usually remind us “have a break, do you like coffee?”, “oh common! don’t mind him, it’s common to demons to act like that, we’re angels remember?” and the common before pay day “can you lend me? I’m short”. and more.

Well, friendship can’t be pawn, can’t be sold, can’t be liquidated or even be a rebate; however, one thing for sure, it’s the only wealth with out expiration, with out withholding tax, that can last forever.

Whatever layman’s term we use to call all our friends especially here in the Philippines, may it be “brad, pre/mre, amiga/amigo, te/yanku, dabarkad, bro/sis; there is a need to give them gratitude, for with out them,

all our ups and downs we can never pass through,

and our journey to success will never be easier and colorful too.

To all friends out there THANK YOU!
