Friends come and go, this is true. However, there are friends that feel more like family that sometimes, when one leaves, it feels like you lose a very important family member. I am very grateful for all the friends I have, and even for those who have left. I have learnt many things as I grow with them. This blog post may sound a little gay, but it is not. If you have very close friends, some that definitely feel like family, then you should definitely understand what I am about to write.
A few years ago, I had a couple of very good friends, friends whom I considered brothers, that drifted away. In part I would say it was my fault, but it did not make sense to me that they would leave without even giving us the chance to speak about the wrongs and misunderstanding that has happened. I do not want to go in detail on what occurred, but I will mention a bit of it. The cause for this friendship to break off was due to a girl, and a decision that I have taken, which is why I cannot really blame them for what has happened. But we all make wrong decisions, so I cannot understand why they have not given me the chance to explain myself. Though this has happened, I still do not regret the decision I took, as I learned quite a few things, as well as with that girl. ;) (HA! I bet you guys are having the wrong thought!) A couple of years later, again I tried to get in contact with them and give it another try, but I was ignored. Because my family and the family of one of them are very close, whenever we would randomly meet in an occasion can be quite awkward. I did not want to let the friendship we had, or even brotherhood if you want, to just end so easily. But what can we do, sometimes that is how life is, and like the saying goes, friends come and go.It's been more than five years, and I've been over it for a long time now. But I forgive people quite easily, so I would be willing to accept them back, especially because they were brothers to me.
I have lost important people in my life, but I have gained many new one as well. There are many whom are very important, but I would like to give a couple of special mentions.
First off, to my good ol' buddy Ryan, also known as Soulja. I have known this guy practically all my life. I do not remember exactly when we met, but all I know is that I've known him for a very very long time. I even remember when my mom bought us a matching necklace that says best friends...HAHAHAHA! Hey we were kids back then OK! I know I can definitely trust him if ever I am in need of something. Not only is he like a brother to me, but he also introduced me to a great number of awesome people as well. Cykez and Fire just to name a few. I can go on and on about our brother-like friendship, but that would be like writing a whole 20 page chapter. Oh! and if ever you are reading this bro, congratulations again to your engagement with Mariel! Very happy for you guys.
Another person I would like to mention before I near the end of this blog post is someone whom I've met for not exactly a very long time, but is someone who definitely feels like a brother as well. Heck! they are my brothers! That person is none other than Aron, also known as Ninja/StormShadow. Now this is one very interesting dude. You can even check out his blogpost, just click on my friends thingy or whatever it's called. He's actually the one that got me started into finally starting a blog. Annnddd spending more than 400$ to get a tablet -__- But hey, that was some good spent money, so no complaints there. He's someone I have a lot of respect for. There are so many things my friends and I want to know about him, but he keeps it a secret. No matter how curious we are, I amsure he has a valid reason and I respect that. Just like Soulja, he's like a brother. Though I do not necessarily believe into having a life before the one we have now, but if ever I did, I bet he was my brother. I know that he too is someone I can trust if ever I would need something.
If I have some other friends reading this, do not feel left out. You guys are very dear to me too. But I just feel like I had to make these two mentions, especially because I know they view my blog sometimes, so I just wanted to leave a little something. It may not be very detailed, but hey, at least it's there. =P
But I would like to make a couple of very important shout outs. My SoW brothers, Ninja, Pyro, Rogue, Intel and Aimbot. And of course, the oCt, they are a huge family, so I'll leave it at that, you know who you are! XD Believe it or not, most of us grew closer thanks to a video game. Awesome eh? And people say this ain't good for you.
So like I said, friends come and go, but I really do hope that the ones I have now and the new ones that I have gained, I sincerely hope that our brotherhood will go up to our graves, and even beyond.
