Do we all have our one true soul-mate out there somewhere or is it just a myth to have faith on a bullshit concept called love?
It was three O'clock in the night, as I was all hot and bothered and probably in a vulnerable state where a moment of weakness was about to make me call Mr. X (who was not exactly in the town ) and say something that I would have definitely regretted in the morning, I suddenly saw one of my girlfriends online. She is back in town only a few days from States, and I hadn't got the chance to meet up with her yet.
Last night I got to think of friendship. The kind of friendship that we all brag about at some point
in our lives, ones which children think to be eternal , teenagers as priorities but you actually understand it completely in your twenties. When the quality matters not the quantity. And you are left with only a handful of them, and you truly value them, because you fully understand what it is to be like with people just like you.
“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .” ― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
Friends for whom you would do anything, sit and listen to them, their problems, pain, and sorrows, about crushes and heartbreaks. Be there for them even in the middle of the night. Pick up their calls amidst your work. Watch their backs, fight for them, hold them at times when you're all they've got.
With whom even boring days can turn up magical, endless gossips like chatterboxes, gobbling foods like savages, bitch about everything, arguing about small matters and agreeing to everything she says when she needs to hear them from you as well.Whom you give free advice when she needs but never applies them on yourself or vice-versa.
Friendship is about understanding each other even without the actual words spilled out, loving and caring , going on hectic shopping trips including groceries and household stuff. yelling at and then hugging each other. Laughing and crying together, getting high together, or hold her hair while she spills her guts out after being wasted, taking care during sickness, to visit her when she feels low, just to make sure she knows no matter what you are there, always there for her.
That kind of friendship which feels mythical but not impossible, the friendship which teaches you, helps you to become a better person. The friendship which even between several ups and downs, maintain the bond made when you two first agreed to be friends. Keeping each other secrets, and touching each other's souls without even knowing. When at work or home or elsewhere, you miss her when she's not around, and you can't wait to see her next. Without telling her all, getting her advice and opinions do matter a lot in every aspect. When you lie for her, plead her parents to let her join you for a party or trip.
For whom you have felt at least once, if we cannot do anything out of our lives, we will start a business together, or take up an apartment of our own and live happily ever after.
“I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.”
― Helen Keller
When with her, you even forget about your significant others for some time...and then bring up the topic discussing and criticizing them. When she know you better than you know yourself. When you act silly and stubborn, she try to sort all out, comfort and consoles you during sufferings and worries. who loves you unconditionally ..and without telling everything to her before going to bed while probably give you trouble sleep.
Conspiring murder plans,thinking about to castrate or dismember someone. Phone calls that never ends until you balance runs in negative, meeting that always crosses the curfew, cuddling and dancing like lunatics without caring.
When you find this kind of comfort with a friend, who becomes your family and stays forever, isn't she a blessing? God's gift wrapped in the form of a guide, friend, sister, partner of charity as well as crimes.
It is just the age that makes us mature and confident.
"Maybe we girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just to have fun with." and it is still one of my favorite quotes from
Sex And The City by Candice Bushnell delivered by most sensitive and romantic among the four friends, Charlotte York.
So what say ladies, let's laugh, live, love and stay fabulous.
P.S- This is a tribute to my very dear friend Dona and of course Sana, without whose inspiration I wouldn't have thought of writing something other than about Mr.X .
