True friendship prevails

Today was a peaceful and pleasant day spent in the company of Wenyi at JP's Starbucks. We found a cosy seat behind the counter, and I managed to do quite a bit of work. Will be doing work together with Sherry tmr. Hope it'll be as productive :)
I am feeling quite light-hearted despite having gone through some nonsense lately. I am glad that I have my trustworthy and reliable friends to depend on when I need them the most. I am thankful that they have walked with me through the lowest point of my life, and held on to me when I was about to slip back to nothingness. And of course, I am comforted that we have an open and honest friendship where we can talk about anything and everything that is troubling us, no matter whether it is about others or ourselves.
I have been wanting to say this for some time, but I couldn't really fit it anywhere into my entries.
There is a reason why best friend are best friends. Why people even become close friends. Why some people just cannot be friends.
It takes mutual understanding. It takes forgiving. Acceptance. Knowing. Trusting. Faith. It is not about how long you've known the person, or how much time you spent with her. It's about how at ease you are when you're around her, and how she makes you feel. It's about giving each other the due trust, respect, honesty and consideration she deserves.
It is more than companionship. More than time spent, and things done. Friendship entails much more than just hanging out for the sake of not being alone. It is another commitment. It is sharing a part of your life with this person. It is about making time, keeping up, making an effort.
I am grateful for having such people who understand me and accept me for who I am, bitch fits, emoness and all. And others who cannot bring themselves to be my friend, no loss to me anyway. Do you get it? I really cannot be bothered already.
I do not think anything. I do not ask for, hope for, expect anything. I don't think that I am anything. But true friends showed me that they will come to me without me grappling for their attention. They showed me that they will not forget me. I treat my friends in the way that they deserve to be treated, and unless you're me, or my friend, you are really in no position to judge, because what do you knw really?
I make the effort to keep up with my friends, and let them knw they are important, and my friends knw it.
Haha I love your pathetic effort. I cannot be bothered with you LOLLL -.-
