Friendship Defined

      Four of my bestfriends made me define what friendship is. I met them in my freshman year in high school, in short they were my classmates. Our circle of friends even have a name: PaBoys (Payat and Baboys) cringe? I agree, but that name is memorable for me.

     Back in high school, in my section, I always experience bullying, not directly. But when they are talking some not so good things about someone, I definitely knew it was me. I always feel like I'm the most ignored and unimportant classmate then. I think it is because my family have a huge financial issues back then so some of my classmates discriminates me. Because of that, I found out who is a true friend and not. The true ones are my four friends, they never made me feel like I'm excluded, here's why:

     2017 is a painful year to me, I had to move from Laguna to here in Rizal because my aunt suggested to my father to move here because of more opportunities especially in work, then he agreed... When I found out about that, I had a separation anxiety, crying every night, not eating breakfast and lunch. It was so hard for me, my memories are the one who hurts me. My closest friend of PaBoys even cried in my last day of school in Laguna. Imagine being away from you bestfriends for a long time, probably forever.

     Fast forward, I'm now here in Rizal, the pain has been lessen, but the memories can't help but makes me sad and miss them everytime. It's 2018 and I was celebrating my birthday then they posted on my timeline with this picture:

     This... really... TOUCHED... me. I can't believe that even I'm not there anymore, they still found a way to include me. It's just a picture but it has a thousand meanings for me. Then I said to myself, "Y'all are the truest of my true friends."
