The angels we call "Friends"

There have been so many things going on and running through my mind since the past week that whenever I sat down to write something, words just didn't seem to form the right sentences ! I have been trying to clear off all that clutter so as to come up with a theme for this post, but it just wasn't happening. That's when I realized I was looking at the wrong things. I was just focusing on what I shouldn't have been. Instead of finding solutions, I was just stuck staring at the problems. Aah no, nothing has happened. Just the normal day-to-day stuff which sometimes becomes too much to handle and tends to blow you off the handle.

All this sounds too melodramatic, doesn't it ?
It did to me as well, and that is when I started thinking the other way round. I realized it's kinda lucky of me to have things related to other people bothering me up because that means some people find me worthy enough to share with me what's bothering them, to have some expectations of me and perceive me to be close enough to tick me off when I am not able to fulfill them, to get mad at me when I do not contact them over a long period of time and most importantly to get onto my nerves when I've done something wrong according to them. Yeah, these are the little angels we call "Friends".
What an important role these guys play in my life, I cannot even begin to elaborate. It's almost like for each friend that one ever makes during the entire course of their life, there is a small part of them that one carries along with themselves always. It's there hidden somewhere, probably in the way you pronounce a word, hug people, laugh, smile, meet someone or maybe your most frequently used exclamation might just be inspired from them ! Regardless of where this person might be, how often you might talk, there is this habit of yours that will forever remind you of them.

That's why I don't get started off on the topic of these species called "Friends" cause I suddenly get overwhelmed with feelings and tend to start blabbering off anything and everything!
Anyway, the point that I was trying to make was that there are people in this world who will trouble you, drive you crazy, expect stuff from you, shout on you, maintain a low profile just to check if you still care enough for them, probably give you a fifty calls just cause you didn't return the first one and they concluded that something is wrong, drive you insane over a small thing,badger you throughout your life for something they think you ought to do. And you know what ? You ought to do just the same. Cause at the end of the day its the people who you can call up at four in the morning that matter.
Yeah, they might do all this and so much more. But the point that we all forget, or atleast I do, is that these are the people who have been there with us through the thick and thin. These are the people who see us grow up and accept us just the way we are. They bear with us at our worst and get crazy with us at our best.
These angels are there in our lives to help us through those times when we think we wouldn't be able to make it through. Confiding into a loved one, having a silent conversation once in awhile and sharing your heart's deepest and darkest secrets doesn't really burden the other person, but just makes them feel glad to be there for you in that single moment of confusion which you might have passed on your own as well but having a dear one to rely on doesn't really make things worse ever.
    
So here's a big thanks from me to all those people out there who made me the person I am, to those who never really gave up on me and especially to those who never really forgot their right on me when I might have forgotten mine on them. It's an eye-opener for me when I say this that despite all the arguments, misunderstandings, we ought to be more than glad to have such people, who want to be there with us in this journey of our lives.
