Old friends

No matter how old you are, meeting friends you may have known ,even back in primary school is always the best experience you can have. It's the perfect opportunity for you to realize what sort of person you were back in the days when they knew you. You get to reflect upon in what ways you  have changed, and for all you know, the change may have been for the better. A chance to see how you have grown as a person or remained unchanged. But there are a range of friends you could meet to see this change. 

Friends you were very close to are always fun to meet. You can reminisce the crazy things you did, laugh at your stupidity back in the day, get emotional over shared memories. You can do any of these just hanging out in a cafe or eating in some posh restaurant you were so fond of.  Then, there is always that one group of friends you don't bother being changed around, it feels as if you'd never left them at all. You revert to being the same type of person you were when you were with them. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad, but for me, meeting that group of people always makes me feel content and younger! 

There are the friends you may have not been particularly fond of, may actually grow on you. All the things that you might have found annoying or irritating about them may have changed and you could laugh about the feelings you had towards each other. These "friends" are those who make you realize what sort of person they thought you were, and well, most of the time, they make you feel really good that you turned out the way you did.

And then, there is that one friend who you'll never forget, the one you were just yourself about, the one you would never want leaving you. The one friend who you know will always be there to catch you when you fall. The person who'd never leave you behind, even if you torture them. This friend, I would like to call my best friend. Meeting this person makes you feel special and loved, like you're the one person who's done something right in life. Meeting this best friend can change you and move you in ways that you may have never imagined and when the time comes to say goodbye, you find yourself unable to do so, your eyes mist up and you realize how special or blessed you are to have someone like them in your life.
