How Often Do You Catch Up with Your Friends?

Happy Sunday Hivers!

Since I was young, I have always had a small circle of friends. I prefer friendships where we understand each other in almost everything, which is why I have always been quite selective when it comes to choosing friends. As I grew older, I kept the same mindset and continued to maintain only a small circle of friends.

When I started working, I didn’t expect that I would form strong friendships with my colleagues. There are times when people work in a company and, after leaving for a few years, they lose contact with their former coworkers. But in my case, it wasn’t like that.

In the first company where I worked, I met people who eventually became very close and important in my life. These are the kind of people who will defend you even when you’re not in the room and will never speak badly about you behind your back. For me, that is one of the true definitions of real friends.

There were five of us in the office who were really close. I remember that almost every day after work, we would go home together and eat together. Four of us were staying in boarding houses, and one of our friends would often sleep at my boarding house.

I felt a bit different when I left the company and started working far away in Cebu. They were no longer there with me when eating or going home after work. But even after leaving that company, we still keep in touch because we have a group chat, and whenever I go back to Cebu, we see each other.

When one of our friends got married and their home was in Negros Occidental, the four of us traveled there just to attend the wedding. We made time to be there and share in one of the most special moments of our friend’s life.

True friends are really different. Even though we no longer see each other or chat all the time, nothing ever changes when we finally meet again. The conversations just keep going, as if no time has passed, and there are always endless stories and laughter whenever we get together.

True friendship is not measured by how often you see each other, but by the kind of connection that remains even after time and distance. No matter how busy life becomes or how far apart you may be, real friends will always find their way back to each other, sharing the same laughter and stories just like before.

Thank you for reading and see you on my next blog. Cheers!
