FRIENDSHIP MOMENTS THAT MATTER

Hello Hivers!

It is with great pride to share to you the people who I considered my friends in deed, indeed! I call them as my spirit- lifter. We worked in the same school. We laugh with our jokes, we cry and share each other’s sentiments. We treated each other with empathy.

We listen to each other in times of challenging moments, give honest advice and provide unwavering support. We ease our stresses at work through chit chatting while eating. We used to do that in school after class when there’s a lot of food in the canteen. In that simple way, we created a bond that goes more than mere acquaintances.

We seldom had our travel together because we shared one common goal save for rainy days. We once had our trip bonding years ago at Buwakan ni Alejandra in Balamban, Cebu. We had so much fun roaming and taking pictures under the rain inside the amazing flower terraces in Buwakan ni Alejandra.

We were captivated by the variety of flowers all over the place but we’re mostly surprised by the expensive kind of flowering plants sold in there. It’s worth the price anyway. We had our great time together as we wander around inside the buwakan (a place full of flowering plants) feeling the soothing effect of the newly bloomed flowers that surround us.

Friendship is an adoring relationship that anyone can wish for. It is a priceless gift that brings gladness, companionship and encouragement unto our lives. In friendships, we find acceptance helping us to delve and go- between our true identity.

Part of our inner essential as human being is our desire to belong. We yearn for connection with others whose interests, values and aspirations match and closely resembles like ours. Friends uplift our souls and enrich our lives. Getting along with people with a feeling of immense care and affection is where friendship begins.

In life, people come and go, and so with friendships. We met people and created friendships which are meant to be forever and others were just temporary. Friendships come and go in our lives for many reasons and one of that is life circumstances which usually caused friendship to be drifted apart.

Just like my other good friends and workmates before Mam Diane, Mam Cristina, Mam Mona, and Sir Al. These people are really amazing! We’ve been each other for almost a decade but they moved out from our school for some reason, life transition. We have to accept the fact that only change is permanent in this world.

Even if we are not seeing each other anymore, we are still connected by the bonds we have created and the lasting memories worthy to be cherished.

Let us appreciate and nurture the friendships that we have may it be long lasting or temporary. Remember the connections that endure, recognizing that change is a natural part of life.
