Should I be Thankful to have ppl close to me?

First of all, let me define ppl close to me in my vocabulary.People who are close to you are people whose opinion matters to you, people that you care most for and people who make you feel that you belong.

We have come across many emails,forwarded msgs..etc..to tell us to appreciate the people around us, that its them who makes life worthwhile. They are the ones who installed faith is us, the one who tilt our chins up and say to us, "Don't worry, things will be just fine" whenever we are down. And deep down inside we feel grateful,thankful and a small glimmer of hope that things might not be so bad after all.

However what do we do when these ppl let us down? Who can we turn to nom that they are the cause of our pain?What can we say?

Yes my friends who are reading this. This is one of the irony life brings us. The one person who can lift you up into the sky, the only one that can give you the satisfaction no one else can, the one you can count on to be there, can also be the person to make you feel worse than any other living person in this world.

I have my fair deals with ppl like this.Betrayal of trust.Deception.You name it.Let me give you an example. Say your mother. The one person you thought understands you in a way no one else ever could. The one thing that you expect from her is trust.You would share most stuff with her.But yet, what you shared with her can also be used by her against you.

Do you know that the person who makes you smile the most can also make you shed tears more than anyone else? Don't believe it?I solemnly believe that everyone has encounter this kind of situation before....not yet probably but one day you just might.

Getting a friend is easy. Keeping them is also easy. Having a close friend is not that easy.Keeping them...well....you know what its like. Human beings can be hard to predict. So are the ones you call friends. As you grow older, when you mature in thinking, you'll realise that all you actually need is one close friend, the one who has never let you down, not intentionally.And thats more important than the cluster of friends who laugh and joke about with you but are never there when you need them.

So in conclusion, I jsut want to say that nothing in this world comes perfect. No one can make you feel at the top of the world without burying you in the ground once. Thats one fact that we have come to learn and accept. We can't do much about it..after all, we are humans. But we can try asking ourselves, have we done smth similar to others? Have we taken anyone for granted?Have we ever use anyone jsut for our own benefit?Have we make any contacts with a friend just to ask for smth and then to forget to call them when we no longer need anything?

No one knows what you're like....only you.
