Friends and goodbyes...
Some people prefer to be left alone and others need to be surrounded by people. I qualify for the later. I hate to be alone. It’s like in the scary movies where the good guys arrive at an intersection and some smart ass decides everyone needs to go in different directions. “You guys go in that that and that direction, I’ll go in this direction” and all of us watching the movie go “WHY??? STAY TOGETHER YOU IDIOTS!!!”…and then one by one everyone gets their head blown up…except for the girl…who eventually makes it alive.
That’s exactly how I feel when the last of my friends bid goodbye. I keep screaming in my head “WHY??? WHY??? Stay on for some more time…like maybe …ahem…lets say…eternity?” It makes me very sad when I have to part ways with near and dear ones. That also explains why I prefer not to come along to bid someone farewell. I try to put up a brave front but somehow goodbyes always make me…well…pansy. Plus I get these watery eyes and it’s not exactly ego boosting.
I need to have my huge circle of friends and family around…not exactly in the mama’s boy league but something to the order of being able to share stuff with everyone and spend time with everyone.
I don’t understand how people are so comfortable being ‘loners’. It sounds pretty cool…like some rock star or something…all alone…with their ‘the world’s a bitch’ attitude …but practically thinking I don’t exactly feel it’s that awe-inspiring…me thinks it sucks to be a loner. But then that’s just my point of view.
Even now…with all of my friends and cousins scattered all over the globe…I make it a point to stay in touch with most of them…its like an addiction…can’t get enough of it. Hmmm…which also explains my daytime minutes being compromised.
I know a few people who tell me they’re loners and prefer to be that way for the rest of their lives. I just don’t get it. Or for that matter couples who claim they have each other and that’s all that matters. Excuse me??? That’s the crappiest load of horseshit I’ve come across. How could you not want to be in the company of your dear friends and family? I somehow can’t relate to it…but like I said…it’s just me.
Don’t get me wrong…I’m not trying to advocate the need to find your particular soul mate and blah blah lovy dovy blah blah….all that would be nice…maybe….but that’s not my point. My point being, why would you prefer to be alone when you have the choice to spend time with everyone? And if you have the choice to spend time with dear ones why would you not want to work in that direction…to strengthen relationships. Forget dear ones…for that matter why would you not want to make an effort to befriend everyone you come across…why be so picky?
I understand that u might want to be choosy about your level of interaction i.e. you might choose to discuss issues related to the workplace with your office buddies and share emotional stuff with your elder sis or have a blast getting involved with useless conversation with your childhood friends ….the point being you can choose to share the stuff you want to share. What I don’t understand is why would you choose to avoid the possibility of making new friends? But then that’s just me…I love to meet new people and extend my circle of friends.
As the old saying goes...every good friend was once a stranger

Friends are like classic vintage movies. Whether I see them once in a day or once in year or once in a lifetime. Or even if they simply cease to be in my memories, they touch me ever so gloriously.
-Nice heartwarming post.
Nice work.Being a loner is not a cool thing even tough some people think its cool.
As they say share your joy with loved ones it doubles and sorrows with loved one's they become half.
Oh so you are alive!!
A relationship is a very rare thing in life..I agree..and there IS no such thing as tooo many friends....the simple saying - The more, the merrier is more often that not, true.
But let's just say..some people have different tolerances for each other! Don't over analyze that.. just understand it..you'll have your answers!
bye...bye...bye....bye...bye....bye....GOODBYE!!!
dude, its just the way you look at the light passin thru the prism. i don't see life like you do. i like to have friends around, but sometimes, i need solitude. i learn more when i am alone, i feel peace, closer to my "self" when i am walking by the lake-side, jogging etc. may be i am just a restless soul.
senti mat maara kar zyaada..hehe..kaam kar kaam. hehe
Yeah, especially if you are a part of owti! :) miss those times a lot :)
