Here to give this post a fresh-up. Also to give some sort of reflection.

In the path of your life, you'll meet many people. Some will be foes, the others friends. And I have met more friends than foes, and I hope everyone here is like me. Friends > foes.

And in primary school, you'll think that time won't pass so soon, and that you have a chockful of time to spend with your friends. That's not true, because in the end, Reality hits. Time is taken away. And with that, it's like preservatives taken out of food, your friendships will "rot" and falter/fade away.

And, let's face it: no one can stop the fading away of relationships. But what you can do is to treasure the relationship, so that even if it fades away, you'll know that you gave your 100% in this relationship and you didn't leave disappointed. (Although, as the relationship begins to fade away, you'll feel sad and stuff.)

And same goes for this coterie. When Reality hits (we all know it will), some part of this coterie is going to break away.

And... it already has, to me.

I'm not implying that the friendship is dead and gone. The friendship is currently in a sleep-mode, like, dormant.

But I knew that I put 100% into this clique. And no matter where we go, how we go, when we go, I know that this family will always be in our hearts, my heart.

If you think that this family is drifting, let it be. Because you know that you put in 100%. And any attempts at salvation will most likely end in ashes. Reality's cousin is Fate. Fate made it fated that this family was going to drift.

I say, move on! Grow up! Wake up! Even if this family drifts, you'll know that it left a legacy that we'll never forget.

And while we may not be able to stay as one big family for long, you know that we'll always be the ones you can turn to, even individually.

We're all friends with each other. That's the result of Reality and Fate's interference, but at least it's better than nothing.
