True friends

Being far away from my previous life made me get some interesting conclusions of it.
I miss some people more then I thought I would. Others, I thought I played an important role in their lives but I realized… I don’t.
There were some surprises as well. People I like but I did not usually spend too much time with, they actually care about me! That made me realize true friends are not those who we hang out with, but those who are there in case we need theme. We don’t have to stay glued to a person to have her as a friend. We just have to let her know what she means to us once in a while.
A true friendship can also be built in short time. You don’t need to know this person for years, to label her as your friend… And you can know one person for years and still, don’t consider her as a true friend.
Human relationships are complicated. Life is short. Therefore, we have to give everyone a chance to become our friend and not waste time labeling people we don’t know.
I make this mistake often. I start labeling people as “not worth knowing” and by the time I realize I was wrong, it’s already too late. Well, not always too late… Sometimes I have a second chance but still...
Lesson number one: Things are not always as they seem to be.
Lesson number two: Don’t judge people on first impression.

That's true! Only true friends will follow you... wherever you are... Some just have the label "friend" but in the end... (...) you know what I mean...
