Soul Searching (Friends)

With the power of FB, adding a “friend” is only one click away, but can you really trust that “friend”?  Personally, I don’t add friends I’ve never met in person before.

I seem to be checking up on my FB less and less these days, still prefer to meet up friends in person.  I don’t really consider myself to be an outgoing person, so I don’t have as many friends as some people do.  However, I’m proud to say that I have many close friends whom I’ve known for 10+ years.  In fact, I’ve just had dinner with a primary school classmate and family friend earlier this week.  Secret?  I’ve always tried my best to stay true and honest to my friends, and I wish that they would treat me the same.

I’m fortunate to have met many good friends to share with me the many stages of my life (primary and secondary school, undergraduate and graduate studies, work,…).  My two jobs after getting my Bachelor degree were referred by my friends, and they were the main reason that I kept the jobs for as long as I did, I wouldn’t be able to survive the boredom of work without them.  And when I was freelancing, some of my friends would refer me to design opportunities without me asking.  Sometimes it seems like my friends are more worried about me out of job than myself.

Now on the verge of starting a new venture, I wish to involve my friends so as to share many more happy memories with them…
