It’s a story of when I was about to enter a new phase in life..
Some humans like to meet new people, but others are not comfortable with it. That’s how I got to know one of my best friends, Aisa. I’m the one who tried to accept many friends but don’t know how to stick with them. Sometimes I also feel insecure when I have a lot of friends and have to interact with them. However, when I have a good friend like Aisa, everything feels secure as time goes by.
There used to be a fear of opening up and making friends with her. After I tried to get to know her better, it turned out that she is totally different from what people said. It was too easy to be manipulated by surroundings for me, fell into a trap that I shouldn’t have. Fortunately, I’ve always believed that all those who are connected will always find their way no matter how difficult it is. Ever since I tried to broaden my perspective, there I found her as someone I was secretly proud of.
I can clearly see the sincerity in her, she has concern for the people around her, supports all their achievements, and even feels happy for them. Once upon a time I accidentally hurt her through my uncontrollable attitude. After that, she still wanted to accompany me sincerely and patiently. Writing this reminds me that when my legs cramped while doing a report on campus, she was willing to spend the time and money to buy me medicine. It touched me deeply even now.
Later, after I spent a lot of time alone with her, we started opening up about things that we didn’t show in public. I saw how strong her body was to support all the problems she faced, she often hides the wounds behind her laughter, which is an illustration of how tough she is being human.
I don’t know if she remembers the moment when I was happy, but she herself was sad and tried to keep laughing even though tears were running down her cheeks just because she wanted to show her happiness for what I was going through at that time. I was very touched when she said that she treated me like a sibling. Growing up with her for almost five years made me realize how strong the roots she cared for, as well as the way her perspective grows and made her a different person from the way I first knew her. She shone even brighter.
There are too many moments that I can’t express in words. But, I will try to keep this friendship and make it a good memory in the future.
Aisa, you are enough.
Sending tons of love, xoxo.
