Friends

The weekend went by with a touch of bonding amongst friends. I must say, the word 'friend' has such a deeper meaning than what its given credit for. I mean we sometimes use it in a very insignificant way which, admittedly, Michelle says that a friend is very different from an acquaintance. She would always dispute when there comes a conversation about people- I'd always be the one using the term 'friends' even for those whom I am not close to, such as an acquaintance. According to the Oxford dictionary, an acquaintance means 'A person that you know but who is not a close friend'. Its true..I admit they don't bear any importance to warrantly label them as a friend, but more as an acquaintace. There's a saying 'People hear what you say, but friends hear what you don't say'. How true is that? Aside from our family, the second person of true importance are unquestionably, friends. I 'm so fortunate to have wonderful friends. Friends who make my life colorful and very much interesting. Every time we get together, time just doesn't seem important. We are able to talk about anything and everything even if some of it doesn't really make sense. Its the views of one another that we find so diverse yet interesting its as if we are learning from one another every time. Thanks guys.. 'Friend - A favoured companion' (Merriam-Webster dictionary)
