Once in a lifetime

I have read many things about friendship and yet, I can't still find a phrase that would suit the kind of friendship I have with my friends.

We are not perfect. Oh, that we sure are not. But we love each other and that's what makes this friendship perfect, if not the people in it.

We have our share of trials and challenges, obstacles we though we could never surpass. The test comes in all forms--jealousy, competition, misunderstanding, and the trivial things that makes fighting all the more interesting. I never thought I'd come to the point of admitting I cannot leave without the people who once made my life miserable.

I never thought I would come to love them--them who I once swore can never compete with my friends back in my old school.

Who would have thought that a decade later, the same people who I deem are responsible for the misery I felt those days would be the same people that gives me happiness and contentment right now.

There is nothing in this world that can compare to the treasures of friendship I found with them. Sure, we had days when we can almost literally kill each other but that's part of the wonders of this friendship.

Words are useless. Even the hundreds of pics we took of each other are useless. It would be futile to try to explain the kind of friendship we had. You have to be there to feel the joy, share in the laughter, and experience the bond that only true and everlasting friendship can have.

They say life means nothing if you don't share them. I say, my life would not have meant anything if I didn't meet the people I call SPUTNIK.
