Often times, they do stay.

This thing called growing up and growing apart.
It happens so gradually yet feels so sudden at the same time.

The next thing we know is were adults.
Were here now, realizing that more doesnt necessarily equate to better, or happy.
If youre lucky, youre going to come across people who vibe just as crazily as you do.
We wish these moments are never gone.
Often times, they do stay.
How one moment can have a lasting and wavering effect on everybody.
Because everybody is a part of this story.
Everyone has a role to play, whether you like it or not.
Truth be told, I dont think youll have it any other way.
There are those who give endlessly.
The ones who genuinely and generously extend their hands to others, because they have so much to give.
The ones who understand the more, the merrier better than anybody could.
They want everyone to be happy, thats why they give and hold space for everyone around them.
The givers who expect nothing in return, except for you to be grateful and be happy.
There are those who you’ve got the option to never imagine not having in your life.
The ones who make you laugh until your butt and tummy hurt.
The ones you consider as brothers.
They will never let your day end without making you laugh.
I think its kind of special, when you are all on the same wavelength.
There are simply the takers.
These are those who are afraid of running out and end up getting twice as much as they give.
They havent figured out yet that they alone can suffice.
But its okay, its part of the process.
We love them regardless.
They will get there.
Sometimes we just have to hold space for them until they do.
There are the silly ones.
The ones who are up for adventures anytime.
The ones who are only a call away.
The ones whose curfew never mattered, not to them anyway.
The ones who believed in friendships past midnight.
Or at your friends bar.
The ones you laugh with at 3 am in empty mall parking lots or someone elses balcony.
The ones you spill your secrets to.
There are those who leave the country but never leave your hearts.
There are the quiet ones.
The ones whose inputs are so minimal but oftentimes say what is relevant.
The shoulders to cry on.
Some you just never see again.
Those who you never hear from again, due to certain circumstances.
You just hope that one day youll see them again.
Believing that the next time youll see them, there will be smiles upon their faces and yours too.
There are those friends who turn into family.
Friends are family that you choose for yourself.
There are those you just instantly click and vibe with.
These are the friendships that alter and change your life forever, without knowing it at the beginning.
The ones who are brave enough to search for the truth.
The ones who believe that theres more to life than what we see on the surface.
The ones who are dreamy, passionate and enthusiastic about life.
Those who have wild minds and flaming hearts.
Those who are true to themselves and are eager to leave a mark in this world.
There are the psychonauts.
The ones who go with their whole heart.
The ones who help you find your way home.
The ones who are fierce and warm at the same time.
The ones who make you feel like every day is an Indian summer.
We were happy, albeit we were always searching for more.
We may have lost some things in time, but in the end, weve always found ourselves.
