It has been a crazy past few days here in KL. The haze has proven to be something that has made its presence known and with that, we should all be more careful when venturing outside.
It is perhaps interesting to look at the nature of the surrounding air and compare it to what is perhaps the natural evolution of friendships.
When you first becomes friends with someone, you latch on to the purity of their optimism and the spark that makes them somehow different from everyone else that you have befriended. Even if others find them a bit annoying, you choose to see all the good that your friend has to offer...
However, friendships change and like the nature of air, it is never truly still. It could take a few months or a few years but sooner or later, you notice that you have begun to grow distant from that friend.
Certain things about them tick you off and in some cases, you even find their presence to be akin that of the current haze. Poisonous. It fills you up with all sorts of bad feelings and drags your spirit down.
When you figure out what sort of effect your friends have on you, you start to think about your next plan of action. In some situations, you let the friendship just naturally fizzle out. People often grow apart and whether it is just a matter of circumstance or choice, sometimes it is for the best.
In other situations, you have to severe those ties yourself and blow away the haze. That is fine too.
For those who have managed to hold on to those special friends, I salute you for it is a treasure and accomplishment that you keep. Still, there is always a new breath of fresh air just around the corner and like the air before, it will still leave a profound effect on you.
Love,
Geek with a pencil.
