…on Friends and Focus
I love the way in which bein with a group of friends can make everything else in the world insignificant for that period of time. The way they take your focus off of whatever else is going on and put it onto them for that time period, whether it be a day, an hour, a week or whatever. It’s very handy at times when you don’t want to even THINK about things. Not that ignoring problems is always good, but at times it can be very much worth it for a day. Or even when you don’t have problems, the drawing of your focus is still a cool thing, just slightly less useful. Friends in general are great.
But even better than a group of friends is spending time with just one friend. These times are usually very fruitful, and deep relationships become very rewarding. A simple conversation with a friend, one on one, can be life-changing even. This is a gift I highly treasure in some of my friends, their ability to change me with a single sentence without any intent or even knowledge of doing so.

Friends are angels on earth meant to look after us
someone taught u what after-thoughts are …
interesting.
teaching and learning .. isnt it like the chicken and the egg?
where does one start?
Yes Shy , it is precious to find friends who take the time to listen to us . For instance , on Xanga .

Depeche Mode is my favourite band. Enjoy the Silence.
and…
you “spend” time … is that how you look at it?
i too would much rather spend one on one time with a friend….it is more intimate, and yes, far more rewarding……though i suppose there are times when a group is good as well….
Totally agree. When you’re with friends, talking, laughing, eating, whatever, nothing else matters nor does it exist. It is the best feeling in the world!
It’s like a merging of minds who understands you so perfectly that he/she knows what you are going to say before you think about saying..
Yeah, friends are definetely the best. They have a way of taking your mind off things w/out you even knowing it. Best thing in the world..
HELLO!!! u miss me huh? awww….*huggles* so sweet. finally back. hope ur doing good. so much to catch up on.
i love the times i spend with my frnds….building more memories to cherish. recently ive started treasuring each moment more coz we r all at those points in our lives where we know all our paths go in different directions from now on.

Friends are great, but if you think about.. what if you could be your own best friend?! Wouldn’t that be kind of cool??

I know exactly what you mean – my summer has been nicely filled with so many of those moments. but it’s nice to have it put in words the way you have – it makes me a lot more aware and appreciative of such moments, and i think i need to be grateful of so much in my life.
