Roles change

So through these past years, I have watched myself grow into this marvellous young woman. One whom is unshaken and remains strong. I have watched some of my friends grow in front of me- changing in all different forms and directions.

So I remember back in primary, first day of school. I met a girl named Lusanda Mdolo, who made my primary years worthwhile. She was with me through all those years- through the highs and the lows. She would change from time to time, and I'd also change but still we would remain. My heart was hers and I had her heart. But I could never accept that people would come and share of this friendship. I wanted it to be just us. I guess my jealousy tendencies were from birth!

Today I sit on this chair typing realizing that there is more to friendship than sharing secrets and keeping them to yourself. Friendship is not about whom you can trust to keep your secrets but rather than who will remain loyal. Someone that is going to love, care and nature your growth. Friends should be those people who will impact your life both positively and negatively but mostly hopefully just positively. Those people who will be there for you always even through distance and time...

Friendship mainly "ends" because of the misunderstanding that led to the friendship. And once friends now understand each other they breakup. We should not remember that we have each other in our lives when we need something. I've basically come a conclusion that the people we know in our lives do not disappear or leave us, but they roles just change. Like with our parents, when we were born they had to clean up after us, bathe us and feed us. Now that we all grown what are they to do? Roles change and that is something we need to accept in life. Change is good like a holiday. It is not a disease.
