It has been a long time since someone's views can resonate so strongly in my heart, and it is someone so random, so far away; someone whom I have never spoken to directly face-to-face in my life.
I guess the crux of today's convo was regarding trust. The very sense of trust which we have so much installed in other pple, as a key element in building up friendships, and there were times when the trust was breached and probably the expectations of some people that we have met are not fulfilled. I guess I had been expecting too much from people close to me, and I had put in so much of my trust that I realised that when things are not in the right way, disappointment can set in very easily, and managing disappointment (even though it may be no fault of the other party) is not easy.
Once a friend had told me that I had expected too much out from the friendship and I had tried to lower expectations. I guess it made me less gloomy, and allowed me to look forward. But I guess putting in trust, and at the same time, not expecting anything, is too hard to fulfil. But I will never stop believing in friendships and putting in trust in people, as that is the only way relationships and friendships can be built upon. Though hurt may come, I guess the true reward in getting a real good friend is still too sweet for me to resist.
thank you for bringing me memories...
