Never Wait Forever to Make Friends

Making friends is easy. Keeping them is a whole new thing.

Anime often highlights topics about friendship. Have you ever wonder why?

The relationships we have with those important people we call "friends" make a huge part of who we are. They say that "birds of the same feather flock" together". The idea is that people with common interests tend to get closer and to form deeper relationships with each other. 

Well, that makes sense. However, those interests are also the barriers that we built and put around ourselves allowing others with the same fences to come in but often rejecting those who failed to meet our standards.

"Hey, I love Math!" "Me,too. Let's be friends!".

"Yo, I love anime!" "Oh, really. How boring."

Don't freak out! These are just examples of what I am talking about. Of course, anime is not boring! However, this is reality. There are those people who don't want to talk to someone because they already tagged them as "somebody I know and that's enough". Why choose friends?

Some might have "not so good aura or personalities". However, we all have our good sides and I know that no one in this blue earth has never thought of having even a single friend. Some are popular. This is not a problem with them unless they find it problematic having thousands of people greeting them some sweet "hellos". Some have problems dealing with how will they tag each of their friends as true or not. Come on! Stop being non sense! You started hanging out and telling somebody your stories and you bother asking yourself if they were friends to keep or not? Both of you should have asked yourselves first : "Why did I make friends with him if I'm gonna mess up his life?" Then talk and kanpai! (well, I just imagined how better the world would have been if the word "traitor" does not exist!)

We have different paths to travel. At present, if not all, most of us are walking through these paths together with someone or a group of people. Sometimes, we cross our paths with strangers and after that, we realized that we made friends with them. Some might as well travel with us to share the same paths. That was really amazing!

We might have different paths but we all have the same destinations. But before mine ends, I want to cross paths with a lot of strangers. Make friends. Learn to appreciate people not by how they look, what they have done or who they are but how they put the effort on reaching into you.
