Good morning and have a nice day! I'd like to have my essay checked. It's not completely an essay, to be precise. I write it for my class's yearbook but the topic of it is about friendship. I'm sorry that it may seem inappropriate but it means a lot to me and I have no other ways to get my writing corrected. I do write a lot about friendship. However, it's mainly a thank-you to all of my best friends so you can feel a lot of emotions while reading it.
Thank you in advance. And it'd be excellent if you could suggest some other good points for me to write about!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My first few words: “Time is a wonderful concept that has challenged the mind of people. It can be the monster that slowly corrodes human feelings if we lose ourselves. But on the other hand, miraculously, time can heal almost anything. After all, the heart has its reasons that reason ignores, time makes the love from us stronger more than we’ve ever known.”
This was written on the 29th of April, 2011. This is also dedicated to my friends.
My five years of primary school is the time I learned to read and to write but precisely, not much to love. I love my family, I love my teachers but it never occurred to me what it would be like if that same love comes from me to my old friends. They were good people, whose sentiments towards me shall forever be remembered but I guess sometimes life is so complicated that things don’t come to you that easily. You cannot wish to get a best friend in one day or two, or even a life time wouldn’t be enough for some to find their true soul mates. Having no true best friends means not being able to stay true to who you are. You hadn’t been frank to your own feelings, or to be more exact, you could not define what your feelings really were. Now I know what friends are for, they define each and every one of us. We don’t simply blend ourselves to fit in, we stick out but it all happens thanks to our friends. After all, I have learnt that friendship is the hinge of my soul that makes my life meaningful as well as make my other sentiments deeper and stronger.
Happiness is nothing but temporary moments are here and there. I would definitely be bored out of my mind if I’m happy all the time. The word “temporary” just crossed my mind like an electricity current - it’s fast but it’s powerful. The connection between “friendship” and “temporariness” is definitely a bothersome question. As which was said above, friendship needs temporariness as temporary moments are truth, are small elements contributing to happiness. But friendship is not being temporary to your friends and it is not temporary itself. From a viewpoint, when you expect your friends to follow your states of feelings, you have already failed to maintain a long friendship. It cannot be denied that friends are there to quiet your fears and raise your spirits. But it doesn’t mean the same when you ask your friends to understand you when you haven’t understood yourself yet. It can only lead to frustration, it exhausts and it requires great altruism from your friends.
In short, my point after all these sayings is the wish to remind you not to forget about friendship. It’s the basis of everyone’s soul. It takes time to have a friendship so don’t ever let go of it for a temporary foolishness.
Moreover, I’ve learned so much from my friends these days. My preconceptions about friendship have been challenged. And it changed. Here are a few things that I’ve recently known about friendship:
1. Friends sometimes yell at you when you don’t listen.
2. They stop talking to you for a long time but at the end of the day, the apologetic words will be spoken
3. Friends say you’re mad when you wish to be an actress but in the end, they want to be your showmen then. They zap you back to reality but they still believe in you.
4. They sometimes ask to be alone. Other times, they share with you their meditations on love. But they know they will be listened no matter when.
5. Friends are to gossip on any topic. You may think you’re the only person that have those thoughts in mind but eventually, your friends would say “I think so too”
A scholar once said: “True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation.”
With me, each of us is a single flare, when we collide with our true friends, we will make firework.
P.S.: We’ve been friends for the last 4 years which can be considered a pretty long time. As for me, it’s so short that as the pendulum swings, I lose myself in the thoughts of us getting older and completely forget about each other. What is supposed to happen happens but in the future, shall you never forget about your good friends and this time of your lives…
