I've never found it too hard to make friends. I have always been the loud, confident and comfortable in her surroundings girl. I have never been the new kid. I grew up in the same, reasonable sized town where everyone kind of knew each other and if they didn’t it was pretty easy to find someone that did. It was easy for me to make ‘friends’.
But now… I’m the new kid, surrounded by a bunch of people I don’t know! I moved to Brisbane
So 9 or 10 weeks down the track and I almost feel like I did when I first arrived here. Don’t get me wrong I have met some people here that I loved instantly and know we will become friends but when does it get too that point? When has anyone really formed a genuine friendship?
Has anyone ever actually thought about friendship? How do you personally define it? Who are your true friends? And who are simply your acquaintances? Are you making the new kid feel welcome?
To get to the point….I miss my friends. The end.
:) It's a good thing what your learning Chy, I think friendship is something that is special when it happens, but the formula can't really be mastered. Keep questioning Chy
ReplyDeleteWow. Loved ur writing Ching. :) I miss you like crazy. I was that person too, when i started at college! Coming from CT, the smallest town ever i cld put a name to most ppl, but moving to new surroundings is always going to be hard. I think if you are finding urself relax and relate to that new person and not feeling like u have to put a guard up then there is always room for ur friendship to grow. You can't rush it!! I also think that if you are recieving the same loyalty, thoughtfulness and time from someone you give those things too then it's definately a genuine friendship. I Love you......
