humans are weird creatures. we are the smartest beings on the planet and sometimes, we just get too complacent of that and forget our feelings.
it's called selective memory. sometimes, when we really don't want to remember parts of our memory or someone, our brain just forgets. it purposely forgets so we don't have to think about it anymore, so that we can stop hurting for whatever reason. but yet, subconsciously, we know it is still there. it is still somewhere deep inside our heads and we just simply refuse to call it back up and remember it.
sometimes, what we choose to remember are the negative sides and memories of people, and we tend to forget the good and positive side of that person that we once fell in love with. and more often than not, it is seen during a parent-child scenario where the parents always harp on the bad things that the kid did and forget about the good things. it happens to everybody, on anyone. which is, i conclude, bad for ALL our health.
for example, i was so busy getting annoyed with this friend of mine over the past few weeks over very simple things and i subconsciously, just refused to have any contact with him unless necessary and at times, even brushing him off as a forgotten person. but today, when i finally got to talk to him normally again, i begin to realise what i have been missing the whole time.
while i was busy shutting him out of my world, his world was still revolving very finely i might add, without me. and after talking to him, i realised that i actually really do miss him a lot. i miss talking to him, i miss seeing him because i have SO not seen him for SO long, i miss gossiping about stuff to him, i miss his logical reasoning about my problems, i miss his shoulder to cry on, i miss him being there for me, i miss him sharing his problems with me and most importantly, i miss being a part of his world and him being a part of mine.
people change and as we grow, we may or may not drift further apart. it is very hard to predict. and for a period of time, we grew apart. but i realise that, because of the strong bond of friendship that we have in the past, as soon as we started talking again, it felt like nothing ever happened before. like we never drifted away from each other at all. talking to him was very easy and we talked as if we were just like before. and i like that kind of feeling.
and it is because of friends like him that really make my life complete, fun and worth living every minute of it. and so, here is a very special post to friends like these.
DOREEN, JESSICA, MING LIANG, OSBORNE, SHONE
you guys are like the bestest friends that anybody could wish for and over the past 6 years of knowing you all, i never regretted any moment of it. you guys were there for me no matter what, and i really mean no matter what. you guys were there to share my joys and my woes. my fears and my thoughts. and i really thank you for that. you all never gave up on me and were really my listening ears and shoulders to cry on when i needed you all.
