Who do we go to if we want to feel loved?
When things aren't so great, or we just have stories to share, we always think of the word "friends". But sometimes friends aren't equivalent to the best people we know, maybe not even the kind of people who understands and doesn't judge us.
I've come to realize that if we wanna be understood, then we also need to try and understand people. Because maybe the best friends we can have are our siblings, maybe our parents, our teacher, or the stranger downstreet.
Each and everyone of us has a story to tell the world. We hear, but we don't always listen. I've only recently relearned the importance of being interested in what's behind the surface. When someone tells stories, look at their eyes, their gestures, the way they move, the changes in the color of their eyes. Listen to what brings out someone else's passion and fire.
If you go to social media sites, you can probably see a lot of names in your friends' list. But when you just wanna sit down at nightfall and talk face to face or have a phone call that isn't in social media, even now, I still wonder who it will be for me from one day to forever. I wonder who I would like it to be.
Because there are so many people in the list, and I always have stories inside of me. But if you ask me who I can trust with those stories I don't even know how to write, if you ask me who can bring out the best stories out of me, I'm still learning...I have a few names in my head right now. Maybe they aren't the best yet, but I hope they could be. And I also hope that I could be one of the best in their list as well, the good kind of list they can count on. The word would a better place if we could be on each other's list.
