#125. Friendships.
I'm having Skill B SPA tmr, I've yet to study and here I'm writing this shite.
I was thinking a lot about my relationships with the people around me and the basis on which they're built today. And my conclusion was, fortunately and unfortunately, most of such relationships are highly hinged on what we have in common: our similarities.
I've always have this opinion about relationships built up at an age of 17 and 18 that it is very much about accepting the differences in background, the way we grew up, or whatever there is to consider. Its very much unlike back 15 or 16 where the people we met were largely from the same background as we do, visiting the same malls, watching the same tv programme so on. Now, its very different.
And the thing now is, my friendships now are highly similarity based. What I meant was, we look at what we have in common with little or no regards of trying to understand and accept what is different. Its quite sad, I thought because I believe such relationships cannot last long. This is just like a BGR thats highly passion-based. Once the passion is gone, there's no more common point, we don't see the others difference and off we go.
Then I was thinking, 5 years down the road, can we do all these that we're doing now again? Can we even have something to start a conversation with? The answer is obvious and it doesnt need to take 5 years. I guess sometimes we do need to take a break from all that mugger life and put some sincerity into the relationships around us. Afterall, your grades cannot take you very far, your friends can.
As for now, I guess I'm still more comfortable loitering street 84, drinking bubble tea at void decks and gossiping about ahbengs and ahlians. I still feel more at ease speaking in my chi+eng+allthedialects and whatsoever. And sexually topics is never my taboo. This is the difference you have to accept in me.
I'm sorry to say but we still have a long way to go before we can actually accept each other's differences. It's gonna be hard, but I think we won't have a friendship that long to reach that stage anyway. So, its okay!
Goodnight!
