Don’t you think trust and friendship go hand-in-hand? A friend from India visited us recently and it really got me thinking. It took me back a few years, and I started thinking about a lot of people I used to be very close to, people I met almost every day, and it felt like nothing can make us part ways. But things change so quickly.
In just a matter of a few days, a few misunderstandings and maybe a little coaxing from other people, the friendship just vanishes. You can blame this on trust, but that’s what friendship is based on, right? So, instead of clarifying the problem, why end the friendship? Maybe the trust was never there. Maybe it was all fake. Well, good riddance then. At least that’s how I feel. I’d rather be true to myself and others, instead of faking friendships. A handful of true friends are always better than hundreds of acquaintances, right? Maybe I was wrong to trust them, maybe I wasn’t. I’ll never know, but it’s not like I didn’t try to make things right.
Today, I do miss them sometimes, but I’m happy that I don’t have to deal with unnecessary drama. Maybe I had 50 friends back then. But today, I’m happy to have just a few close ones. I’ve truly started believing in the saying ‘Everything that happens, happens for the best!’.
