Definition of friendship


Definition of friendship:

1: one attached to another by affection or esteem
2: one that are not hostile
3: one that is of the same nation, party or group
4: a favored campanion

I am someone who treasures friendship a lot but somehow I don't always be reciprocated for it. Well...maybe not all people are the same as me. However, the funny thing is I only feel this way while I am in states. In fact, I am quite disappointed with the so called "friends" that I have known. I think calling them acquaintance will be more appropriate! Sometimes I will ask myself; maybe I didn't "contribute" enough to the friendship BUT shouldn't it be a two-way thing? You shouldn't expect people to keep calling you, arranging gathering and you just sit there waiting for it to happen! It made me wonder does these kinds of people worth my effort?

One incident that really pisses me off happened last weekend. I saw the 'friend' whom we used to talk, go out with etc. I started a conversation and she replies me briefly. Somehow after that she sort of "drifts away" from where we sat and moved to a corner to join another friend. Throughout the party, she didn't spoke a word to me! At that moment, I am so angry and disappointed that I wanted to confront her, somehow another part of me told me to let it go. Maybe now she didn't need me as a friend anymore since she is in a different stage of life. I may feel sad "losing a friend" but on the other hand, I am glad that I saw the true colour of her. Though I must say it doesn't apply to everyone, I do meet some good people here and I believe our friendship will be like those who I have in Singapore...
