Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder how's life without friends.
I have nice pals here, they are fun, we hang out, laugh, did ridiculous things. But imagine that someday as time goes by, we must ready to say farewell. Life's changed, the world's spinning around.
Now, after I graduate from college, we see each other more seldom. Can't blame them though, they get married, have their job to take care.
I wonder if we must say goodbye and let the life flows like a river.. or hanging onto them as hard as we try.
How about you? Ever feeling scared of being alone?

I will always need friends, even though they might change. I've had 6 close friends for about 10-15 years (different ones I met at different periods of time), but yes, some of them are now pretty busy with their work and their kid(s). We still keep in touch via emails, though. I think it all depends on whether they still spend enough time for you or not...if they can't even spend a minute or two every month or two, then the friendship might suffer. But there are those kinds of friends who will still be friends with you even though you haven't met in a long time...those are rare friends. ;-D
I think it's better to let life flow like a river. I find that it's impossible to hang on to them as hard as I can IF they don't want to be held on to. It's better to find newer friends.
I find that even though old friends go, there'll always be new friends if only you look for them. ;-D
I think I'm not too scared of being alone now after having many blogger friends. So even though I have no close friend here in real world, I still have other people to talk to daily. :-D

Yeah, sometimes we must learn to let go, right?
well, I appreciate what I have right now. But sometimes I get the feeling I will loose them someday...Hmmmm...I think should be positive all the time. This is how life's works.
Some come and some left.
Hehe :)
Thanks for sharing the feeling.
Maybe we can be blogger fren too. :)

Life without friends? It would be boring of course. Friends are like our "mirror". They are willing to listen to our problems and so on. Even though we have families that will listen and help us on our daily problems, some how the effect is more well seen when we discuss our problems with our best friends. It's like the burden of our problems is reduced to half when we are together with our friends. There are people who feel more comfortable talking about their problems to their friends than their own families. True friendship is what we must cherish the most in our lives. We can make friends with a lot of people but only true friends can be our best friends. Friends that walk away when we are in trouble are not our friends. And yes, life isn't fun without friends.

Hello Ivy, over the years, I've made many friends. I realize one thing. Some friends come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And some are meant to stay forever and leave an everlasting memory.
I have many good friends and most of them are from my schooling days. I am very happy to still have them as good friends even though we are all busy with our works and lives. I have also lost some friends due to misunderstanding or lack of contact. Even though, there's some regrets, I've learned to treasure all my friends and never take them for granted.
I also realize as we grow older, it gets increasingly difficult to make good friends. It's easy to make friends but not good friends. This makes me treasure my schooling friends even more. =D

Hello, pooh! I think my best friend is from my college.
I've got few from my highschool too, but in my college my friends are just so adorable!!! No cocky things cause we'are grown up already.
We love to laugh until our stomach got hurt and we shed our tears. Love that moment! but right now some of us are so far away! gotta keep in touch then.

Life without friend is just unimaginable. We need friends for everything, right from laughing, to sharing all the good things, to sharing all the sad things, to crying, we need friends. Friends are so indispensable in life.
We have phases in life, where we keep on meeting new friends for every shift and it is our duty to make the best friends wherever we go and whatever we do.
There are people who are living without friends too and i have seen them really doing well in life, but thats not for everybody. Not everyone can lead such a life where there are absolutely no friends at all.
