I was dropping by those blogs of my friends and realised they don't seem to post entries as often now. Times flies especially we got busier these days. Come to think of it, I have only 2 more semesters left before stepping into the working world. Growing up isn't all about accepting more challenges and learning from defeat. There's so much more to it I just can't figure out.

The distant between me and them is drifting as time passes. Things just aren't the same anymore. When I read about their lives, I realised I'm no longer playing a part of it. Different from those days we still see each other often, I was just like reading someone's story and being a watching audience. I no longer play any roles in their stories just like they don't have a role in mine either.

We hate and are afraid to admit.. but yes, the gap is getting wider.

It wasn't anyone's fault. Fate has lead us to different places and packed our daily lives with different stuffs. Everyone has something to be busied with sometimes, its so impossible to even drop in a line for a word of hi.

When I read about their troubles, I found out I can't really capture how they are feeling and therefore, find no words/ways to comfort them. It resembled a thick wall in between us. In return, they can't sense my sadness/joy though they would be somewhat affected. Its time I break that wall.

The feelings of absence was so strong, we seem to be heading opposite directions without us paying attention to that. Along the way its time we learn to be independent and meet new people. Everyone has to and is leading their own lives. I can see that my friends have different dreams and some are on their way to reach it. I feel proud and happy for them.

'Absence makes the heart founder.' But I guess the person who created this line forgot to add in 'It also drifts 2 people apart as time passes.'

Yet deep inside I know, no matter what happens, once a friend, always a friend. We might not be playing a big part in their lives now but certainly, that strong bond of friendship still stays and that's all that matters. Because memories are the best presents one could ever give to each other.

You don't need to see someone to remind yourself you know them and they're important to you.

Everyone leaves this world with empty hands but don't forget, those memories will always stay with you and no one can take it away.

Nothing can't be by your side forever and what we can do now is to cherish every moment with people around us.

Life is never always too late for regrets. So don't ever let that happen to you.

I was reading David Yeo's blog and I realised I don't want to leave this world without accomplishing anything. I don't want to just come and go. I don't want to live for the sake of living. I want to leave something behind before God calls me home.

I want to live for something. Something that movtivates and inspires me.
