Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot. Okay, not unusual, except that this time round it wasn’t easy to put my finger on what was bothering me. So it took a while, and this was the result.

I’ve been, well, catching up with people lately. You know, all those people you meet along this winding road we call life, then stop seeing regularly once you hit a different checkpoint, and at certain rest stops, decide to call them up for a chat to see how they’re doing? And you remember how you used to have fun with them?

So yeah. I’ve been doing a lot of that.

And every time I do, it feels like a piece of the puzzle is missing. A piece that isn’t so important that you can’t see the main subject of the picture but annoys the hell out of you just because it makes it feel so incomplete.

I just figured out what that piece was.

As much fun as I have with them, when I’m with you, all of you, it transcends fun.

With all we’ve been through together, playing, teasing, bitching, taking comfort in each other, it’s more than enjoying ourselves. Having seen the best and worst of one another, there isn’t really much to hide.

They say real friends have our backs whether it’s a clear sunny day or being caught in a storm with no frickin’ shelter. Personally, I think it’s more like knowing when to scold you for being an idiot for not bringing an umbrella even as they shelter you from said storm.

That’s why, this day when I’m officially going to be responsible for all my own actions, I dedicate to you, my friends, da bestest best clique. Because I know that when I’m happy, you’ll be happy for me, when I’m sad, you’ll cheer me up, (when I’m annoyed, you’ll leave me alone to get over it), when I’m being stupid, you’ll whack me on the head and tell me I’m being stupid.

And I also don’t see the need for a party because every time we meet is a carnival of sorts. A celebration of all the years we’ve travelled along this road together. A festival of friendship.

Thank you for that friendship.
