A Sweet Story2

Later in college I was still searching for that special friend, but didn’t find whom I was looking for. There, every one made friends either to have a good time, or to achieve personal benefits, or to secure their financial future, or … . In a word, most of that period’s friendships were quite superficial and nothing more.

When I married, I thought I found my other half. Although I love him a lot, but after a while I realized that no, he wasn’t that super special someone either! He too, just like me, felt that some thing was missing.

In this complicated life, sometimes you feel that you don’t even want to be around those closest to you; you feel that they just don’t always really understand and have the answers. You know, we all need some one to talk to, someone we can trust to pour our hearts out to, someone who understands all corners of our mind, someone who has a big heart yet is very intelligent, someone sincere and benevolent who only wants the best for us, and not only that, but someone who knows what’s best for us better than ourselves, someone who doesn’t misunderstand or misjudge, as they say, a real good friend, a super listener, someone who’s there all the time …; someone whom I hadn’t yet found.

For pouring your heart out, you can’t set a time; you just want to talk to someone any time you feel heavy in your heart, you want to empty your aching heart. Then if there is no one there, you feel that you want to scream!

Same thing happened to me ... I wanted to scream: O my God! Is there anyone who can help me?

I mean, can I find someone who will always be my faithful friend?

I mean, is there someone listening to me whenever I want?

I was dying for such a real friend, but everyone was telling me: "we’ve searched, there wasn’t any, Do not search, there’s none.”

In the middle of all these confusions, I was invited to a party by someone I knew. Even though I wasn’t in the mood to go but because of his persistence, I went.
