Open 24/7
Make new friends,
But keep the old;
Those are silver,
These are gold.

But keep the old;
Those are silver,
These are gold.

Songs-that-hit-the-charts-then-fade was how I used to look at College friendships. Besides, everyone was already pre- occupied by long- time founded relationships that no one would be willing to neither share himself nor take a bite from what few others offer.
But that was before I met a set of amazingly beautiful people. Ü
Friendships, in all contexts, are only subject to the limitations we set. How deep a relationship can develop depends on how wide you are willing to open the gates and nothing else.
I already have five friends I practically grew up with. They are irreplaceable; they know that. There are also few and very selected people from HS I sincerely treasure and care for. I opened up and shared myself with these people and I don’t see the point why I should be selfish and end the list there.
College is a bliss; but I made time to open my heart and share myself with special people I crossed path with. I didn’t set limitations and standards. I learned to unmask myself in front of uncertainties. I let go of doubts and fears, and I wasn’t disappointed.
Make new friends,
While keeping the old.
Those are silver,
But will soon turn gold.
While keeping the old.
Those are silver,
But will soon turn gold.
-my version
To Dez and Tin, thanks for the 20-minute talk we had the other day. It made our friendship leap a decade. And to Margot and the rest of my oh-so-gorgeous friends, thanks for everything! I love you, all and more giggles to come!
Whatever doubts and insecurities the past slapped me with, I am lucky to have met people who healed the wounds and embraced me.
('wag magtampo 'yung mga wala sa pic. friends ko pa rin kayo.*wink*)
They are my friends. And yes, I met them in College.
