A beautiful gift in life

Yesterday was Indonesian 66th Independence Day. It was a national holiday but I didn't see any traditional celebrations such as Panjat Pinang, etc in Medan. Well not that I know of. There wasn't any patriotism shown by me like wearing red and white clothes, or batik, none of them. I was upset in the afternoon, hence all my mind focused on it. Funny isn't it, although we've known we shouldn't always have high expectations we just won't care, and keep expecting...and expecting. And in the end, it's us ourselves that get hurt. Such an irony.

I'm lucky to always have someone to stand with me during the bad times, not only the good times. There are times I feel like doing nothing and desperately want to embrace nature. That came to me yesterday afternoon. When there are problems and I could no nothing but going with the flow, I would always go to my best girlfriend. She always knows what to say, how to support me. I could simply utter all my uneasy feelings, regrets, doubts, fears.. and she would listen thoroughly, sometimes offering useful solutions. She's probably the only friend up til now that has the most similar way of thinking to mine. When everyone else would judge me wrong, she'd stand with me and say 'Don't listen to them. Listen to your heart.'

And as always, yesterday she helped me go through my downs. I was slightly hurt, having doubts of what the future might be. But it works like magic, meeting and talking to her. My burden was lifted, all left is optimism. I went home with all the good things in my mind.

Our friendship works two ways, we always support each other. Only when we find faults in another, we'll point them out, discussing the problem and together thinking of a solution. We don't judge, we share.

I love her, like no other. 4 years of friendship..and still counting, K. :') 


With all my heart I hope nothing will ever tear us apart, and we'll always stay this way...for good.♡
