friends

i guess the photo above is long over due. i have not had the time these past few weeks and there are still several issues that i have yet to complete. a glass of strawberry shortcake with pistachio on the side. the most challenging part about making the number above is not the different components but the presentation.

n.s has seriously reduced my personal time lately and not only have i not typed out my university application essay, i haven't caught up with my friends too. i went to a 21st birthday party just yesterday and when my friends mentioned how it's time to move on, a new phrase of his life and friends will soon part ways due to different life commitments, i felt horrible.

the feeling was all too familiar and i realized that as we get older, the friends we have that are really close to us are numbered in the single digits. so i say keep these friends close like family for people come and go but some stay with you through the times. i'm quite the solitary person, never really close to my family and on the other hand there's a side of me that my friends haven't a clue.

i've always wanted a life overseas, working in a foreign city. yet with it brings challenges, away from my old friends. distance places people apart and the bond fades. where will i be.
