It's Friday again and I'm feeling sad because I know that tomorrow we'll have face-to-face classes. I don't like the thought of changing my sitting position suddenly. I'm sad because I hate losing friends, but at the same time, I'm happy for him. We've been friends for almost a month and he always made my Saturdays great. I learned a lot from him about life. Unfortunately, he dropped all his subjects, which makes me feel heartbroken. I just wanted to share my feelings with you.
Last night's news shocked me. Maybe it's not a big deal for my other classmates, but it's a mix of emotions for me. I'm happy for my friend because he got a lifetime opportunity, but I'm sad because it feels like my circle has been shattered. Going to a new place outside of your comfort zone can be tough. I feel like our friendship was real, and the bond we had was unlike any other classmate.
During our first class, I wasn't ready when he came close to me and offered me some food. I accepted it, and then he came even closer and started talking about why he took the course and what his expectations were. I'm a polite person and I try to show interest in other people's stories, but it felt awkward to have someone open up their life to me in just one meeting. I'm the kind of person who doesn't get too close to anyone in the first meeting. I prefer to wait for a month or two before making the first move to be friends with someone.
But he was different. Maybe it's because he's ten years older than me, or maybe it's because I don't have a real brother, but our bond became closer, and we now chat privately. I appreciate how exclusive our relationship is. He lives near the university, and I don't. When something comes up abruptly, he's the one who's always willing to go to the university. Thanks to technology, he can receive my word work on time and print it out for me. It makes me feel more comfortable as will relief the stress
At school, our classmates suddenly started looking at us together as we laughed with each other. He has a great sense of humor, but I noticed something weird about him. Sometimes, he stops and pauses without any conjunction. He's the closest friend I have in the classroom. We even wait for each other at the university gate and go to class together as a pair. It feels like I'll have a ghostly feeling on Saturdays without him. I don't mind being late as class last until 8PM because he's always there with his naughty sense of humor. It'll be dead air without him as my seatmate.
On the other hand, I was also happy for him. He said, "I'm not getting any younger anymore, and opportunities await me. I have to dive in." He opened up about his life before, and I honestly learned a lot of things from him, including his past experiences in life, career, and love.
He was assigned to a far district, which is why he had to drop all of his enrolled subjects. He couldn't manage his time anymore. But we promised to stay in touch, and he still calls me sometimes. I'm emotional because I wasn't ready for this sudden change. We had plans to take the professional exam together, and it's also going to be his second professional license, just like mine. He was a rare friend, brother, and father figure to me. I limit myself to having only one or two real friends instead of a large circle of friends and they been gone feels like empty inside
Starting over at school will feel like the first day of class again. I'll have to sit next to someone new, and I'm not sure if we'll get along. But it's okay. It might take a moment to adjust, but I'm sure I'll find a way to make new friends. (or not)
Having friends is a blessing, especially when they help you grow and are always there for you. It's not about the length of time you spend with them, but how genuine they are. I treasure the memories I have with my friend. I'm honored to have been a part of his life, and even though there's no guarantee that we'll meet again in person, thanks to technology, we can stay in touch as friends. It's just hard to lose real and rare friends like him.

It's tough to form a bond. You have a great bond with your friend, so it's normal you're feeling this way. What you can offer is your support, even miles away.
Anyways, I wish him all the best!
Tama ka Ms. Witty, he actually visits last saturday to formally say goodbye hehe, I am happy for he was this happy more so, kasi sa wakas he waited for so long.
losing something you cherish is sad.
but don't let it stop you from making new connections, for each connection is unique and have its own story.
Tama ka Boss Demo, but just a hundred days left aalis na din ako sa university na yun hehe sa state university na ako magcontinue but yeah connecting them still fun, just that I really have trust issues.
I can relate on this Eu, back in my younger years I had a workmate naman same ideology etc nag jive kami.
When he left the company to study I was happy and sad din haha. Once in a lifetime eh, nakaipon na tsaka teens pa kami noon.
We are still friends though di na madalas nag-uusap at may pamilya na parehas kami.
Yeah exptected ko na din sa akin kasi busyness na din ako and siya din so sana once in while kahit comments or reacts nalang sa mga status namin sa FB hehe.
I used to be like this! I felt sad every time a co-worker left to look for a greener pasture.
That is why I learned to hold back my emotions and feelings. I don't invest much in co-workers or even new friends as I hate the feeling of being left.
Siguro medyo na shocked lang ako kasi 2 years din ako walang movement, just this days. Emotionally iba din talaga sa totoo lang, but I think still great din naman.
Happy kasi may bago siyang journey, at the same time sad, kasi you have no choice but to let them go. Anyway, wishing luck sa opportunity na nakuha nya
Exactly, but maybe thats how life was designed hehe, talagang they need to grow and I must also.
Tama. Yan talaga narealize ko noong naggrow apart na kami ng friends ko
We recently said our goodbyes too to a colleague who will be migrating soon. She was my mentor and really feel sad that we'll have to let go of someone who we consider a big asset but happy for her because she will have a better place to go. So I really relate to you on this matter. It's really sad andnsurely will miss them but that's life. People come and go. But thanks to tech we can still stay in touch with them.
Oww but in the other hand we silently dreams that someday will come tayu naman hehe, yung magmigrate and have more opportunity ahead. For now clap muna while wala pa sa atin hehe thats for sure.
Felt that. At a time where you are comfortable with someone, they'll left for other personal priorities and you'll be there getting back to square one, doing a lot of adjustments again. Especially is you're an introvert, interacting with new people again would be tough. That's life, tho. People come and go. Just wish them well wherever they go. 😊
Exactly, just I am right now hehe medyo nawawala na din sa inyu but still I am here naman once in a while hehe.
Sorry to hear but also glad for your friend who has gotten a new opportunity. May your friendship last long and hope you will meet another soul at school whom you will become great friends with.
!PIZZA
Thank you po, hoping na di lang friends, baka girlfriend na hahaha, just kidding.
Ay! For sure malapit na yan! Introduce her to Hive agad hehe!
Happy new week EU
People come and go talaga 'no? Most of the time to the most unexpected people in our life. I wish you the best Yonong. Although I haven't experienced this yet, I can feel your sadness through your writing.
Cheer up!
Shems yeah so sad, but that was the reality of life so I have to endure the real side world. Soon for sure maeexperience mo din but still in low clasification of emotion naman hehe. Endurable.
These kinds of separations are tough but it’s good you have a friend that sounds like you can keep in touch with perhaps in the future. Those are important resources to have!
Thank you admin, really hard but need to get going. Soon might luck we could be in the same room or field again.
How sad to hear about it @eunoia101, it's hard to find new friend again but I know you're friendly and you can find another again.
Hehe I am not that friendly as it seems ate, I am picky to be with friends. Spoting the real one over fake hehe. Yiee thank you ate.
Aw sabagay me too, first impression Ng tao sa akin is maldita and unfriendly and medyo Tama din Naman hehehe. But I can be a real friend to those who are real too hehehe
