when there's expectations....

When you expect too much from somebody, you are vulnerable to the feelings of rejection, hurt and many other painful ones. But when you expect nothing, you’ll have a lot of blissful moments. That’s why they say, expect nothing and you’ll be happy.

Let’s say, you are best friends with B, a person whom you can share anything and everything without feeling insecure or fear of being judged. Tell me, there will be one point which you will feel intimidated, feel annoyed by the very existence of the close friendship. To those cynical enough, yes, you will understand this feeling. You will understand the annoyance and the inexplicable irritation when somebody other than your family knows you too well. You can’t lie to them, you can’t keep secrets from them, you can’t hurt them without hurting yourself as well. You hate that you love him or her so much. This is what best friends can do to you. Regardless of how annoying he or she is especially in quarrels or fights, you have that nagging feeling, sometimes tired in the subconscious minds of yours, somewhere deep down in the bottom pits of your heart, you know, you can never live without them. You can never face the day without seeing your bestie’s smile and will always look forward for the appreciative or criticizing look in his or her eyes when seeing you in your new outfit. And when you quarrel and become temporary enemies, you know you’ll miss your best friend’s consoling words and supportive hugs.

Best friends are there when you need them. I mean, best friends are not the ones who demand you to share secrets with you when you do not want to. They’ll listen to you, judge you later. When you ask for their opinions, they’ll give, hurtful or not, they’ll be frank. Sometimes, when they don’t give reasons, the reasons will just dawn inside you, having that mutual understanding with each other. They tend NOT to say out loud the ‘I love you’ sentence for they know the sacredness of those three beautiful words. They won’t say, they’ll show. They trust you completely and do not question your loyalty. Sometimes, when you ask for assurance, they can get frustrated because it’s like you question their love. Best friends knows the exact thing to do when you’re upset, laugh together when sharing private jokes and will never reveal any of our secrets to others, no matter how tempting that can be. Best friends talk to you like an equal, not like you’re some kind of inferior character. Best friends understand that sharing responsibilities is important especially when you live together.

best friends will remain forever.

because the relationship rarely knows the meaning of ending.
