I wouldn’t know what it was like to forgive someone for wrongdoing, and become friends again after a fight. I would never get to experience the joy of going to a birthday party, or sharing my poems. Inside jokes would be obsolete. Laughter would be rare. That’s how life would be without friends, if I never found the valuable treasure of friendship.
After a while, I’d start to feel lonely. In the end, I would have regrets. So the matter is, I’m not going to let that happen again. Even though I sometimes think life would be easier without commitments or responsibilities, it definitely wouldn’t be better. For I care about my friends as they care about me. I am willing to make sacrifices for them, and be there when they need me the most. I know they would do the same. And by keeping the promise I made to myself, I really gained a lot. I learned to cherish what I have while it is with me. And by doing this, I realized that it will never be completely gone.

Your friend, Me
