Bully Friend

In every clique,

there’s always this person

who’s more of a boss than a friend;

the one who likes to give orders

you can’t refuse to follow;

someone who acts like your mother sometimes,

but like your father most of the time;

and the one who takes care of you

in a way you can’t even notice

that it’s what they do.

They are actually what they hate

to admit that they are:

A Bully Friend

Friend

Next to life, friendship is the most valuable thing. It is the building blocks of all human relationships. When you found someone you can laugh at your mistakes with, someone you can cry your pains with and someone you can share your dreams with, that someone is undeniably called a “friend”. Nobody cares for you as gentle as a friend. No one could ever love you as sweet as a friend. And nothing in this world would ever replace a friend as your most valuable belonging.

You see, even the best lovers once started just as friends and a perfect family is always established with a friendly affection towards each other. There is really no successful bond that was not built with a simple dose of friendship.

At least once in our lives, we’ll find a friend. But it doesn’t matter if we have too many or just a few friends. As long as they’re real and worthy to be called a friend, they are meant to stay in our lives, no matter what.

We Are Not Super, We Are Only Human

We are no “Superhuman”.

We cannot do everything we wanted and have anything we wish to have.

We cannot move mountains, neither we can travel in the speed of light.

The only thing that we can do best is to be human– an imperfect, invincible human.

Without God, family, friends and loved ones, we will just be as incomplete.

We are not super, we are only human so never pretend to be one.

5 Things About Bully Friends That Would Make You Want To Have One

In every clique, there’s always this person who’s more of a boss than a friend; the one who likes to give orders you can’t refuse to follow; someone who acts like your mother sometimes, but like your father most of the time and those who take care of you in a way you can’t even notice that it’s what they do. They are what they actually hate to admit that they are: A Bully Friend.

Having friends is a wonderful gift but having bully friends is definitely a bonus. Ever wondered why? Here are a few reasons:

1. Bully friends are the sweetest friends.

• They may appear to be tough and proud on the outside but they are actually the ones who have the most overflowing emotions on the inside. When you part ways for a vacation, relocation or even a short-term separation, they are the ones who’ll cry first. You may think that they won’t remember your birthday but you’ll be surprised to know that they are actually the ones to greet you first thing in the morning and what’s more? They give you a very good present.

2. Bully friends often help you overcome your fears and build your confidence.

• As bully as they are, they would make you do things, even those you don’t want to. However, you will have no choice. I don’t know what they have exactly but bully friends seem to have this ability to persuade you to follow whatever they ask you to do, right? It’s not a bad thing actually because sometimes, doing something you don’t want to or you are not used to, gives you an opportunity to overcome anything you fear about. Have you ever tried singing (in front of an audience), bar hopping (a little tipsy), mountain climbing (for the first time) or kissing a stranger (a hot one) because a friend bullied you to do so? If yes, well, you should thank that friend of yours immediately because he/she have made you a person who is better and a way cooler than the one you were before.

3. Bully friends are the best company when you are down.

• When you’re down and depressed, bully friends won’t tolerate your sadness and cry with you. Instead, they would talk to you in your face about how ugly and pathetic you currently are for being so down and how bad it is to be depressed with something you are sure to get over with..given enough time. They would lift your spirits high by giving corny and sometimes, rude jokes that always make you laugh though there is really not much to laugh about because you’re obviously gloomy.

4. Bully friends talk too much (because they care too much).

• You may not have noticed but bully friends usually have a thing about talking. They talk and talk, while you listen. They tell you anything their heart feels especially when you need advice on something. They don’t just tell you what you want to hear rather, they speak the truth: bitter or sweet, it doesn’t matter. As long as it’s for your sake, they won’t hesitate for the reality.

5. Bully friends are loyal.

• No matter how brave or proactive your bully friends are, when it comes to your friendship, they would never exchange it for any other thing. For them, once you become friends, you will be friends for as long as you need each other and have the back of each other. Though most of the time they bully you, your friendship is always the first thing they care about no matter happens.

It’s really not that hard to find friends. What is hard is to keep the good ones in our lives and nourish that friendship through every ups and downs. Right now, I have accepted the challenge of keeping friends, especially my bully friends who keep me company and patiently takes care of me not because I need to be taken care of but because they really care (or so I think).

Through Thick and Thin

              ..”A friend is like a dark chocolate. Even if it gets bitter sometimes, the natural sweetness can still be felt and in the end, it’ll still taste like heaven..”

They say, the most constant thing in life is change but aside from change, there is another that remains stable in our every lifetime: having a friend. It’s funny how every one of us has this someone who’s more than a sibling but less of a lover. When you talk about a friend, you refer to someone who cares for you more than your sibling can do and someone who loves you a little less than your lover can do.

Well, who would not need a friend? When you want someone to listen to your never-ending stories about anything that comes to your mind, you need a friend. When you want someone to tag along with you on your first date, you need a friend. When you want someone to pick you up on your drunken nights, you need a friend. When you want someone to tell you how you look on the dress you just bought, you need a friend. When you want someone to confide to when your heart is broken, you need a friend. When you need someone to help you do household chores, you need a friend. When you want to be reminded that you’re becoming a bit “healthier”, you need a friend. When you want someone to buy you lunch or just make you something to eat, you need a friend. The list goes on and on until you realize that when you want something, you need a friend.

A friend is the first person you can count on and the last person you ever want to fight with. Sometimes, things get rough and the friendship you have with someone becomes ruptured. It is inevitable but as long as you value all the things that you shared, the laughter, the sorrow, the ups and the downs, your bond will not be broken and will be stronger instead. Every fight will just be a building block of a tighter friendship until the both of you get used to it. Like they say, a friend today will always be a friend tomorrow. No matter what happens to your life, a friend sticks by your side to support you and make you feel that you are not alone.

Indeed, a friend is the best companion one could ever have. When you’re with a friend, you’re comfortable to be yourself. With a friend, you never get ashamed if you are at your worst personality. When you stumble, your friend will laugh at you but will then pick you up when the both of you stops laughing.  Most especially, when you feel that the entire world is turning back on you, it’s your friend whom you can always count on. It really pays to know a good friend to be one.

Many times in our lives, we’ll have a friend but it doesn’t matter whether they just pass by or they remain in tact on our whole lifetime. Having a friend is a thing but keeping a friend is another thing. Remember, through thick and thin, a friend is always worth keeping.
