December 16 – Friendship. How has a friend changed you or your perspective on the world this year? Was this change gradual, or a sudden burst?

Ta-ching.

In my more college era, I would have taken more drastic measures. But after those years, I had taken a vow to be more mature and more logical.

I remember more than 8 years ago when I questioned why people kept friends who were “annoying”. Why? When they have nothing to give you except grief? I learned from this friend that there’s always something.

Some may call me methodical, but I believe that everyone has something to give whether it’s something tangible or nontangible. It is cold, but there is some use for each person.

The change though was that I realized that even at my age, there are still some people who don’t see the world as I see it. In the way that I have a desire to please. That I don’t want to tread on others’ ambitions and needs.

This is what I learned.
