My Dear Best Friend

My childhood saw me switching between best friends, a lot. Each time that I had a new bestie, there were a complete set of pros-and-cons associated, with her (Basically only one boy-best friend I've had. The rest were girls.) At times my parents didn't like my choice, at others teachers. With time some kind of controversies would grow, between me and my apparent best friend, which now seems so irrelevant each time that I ponder into. And finally, it would take me to a break up in friendship. Then there would be a complete session of bogus drama, heart break like never before, and finally a new soul entering my life and bringing about a phenomenal change. Now each new best friend would be more dearer than the one before. Even all of them are people with completely different set of ideologies. Yet, my quavering heart would find solace being accepted by the new one. There would be matters, that would look intrinsic, matters that would require privacy and matters that required a lot of understanding to be dealt by two people. I would certainly get one such issue with each new best friend and finally by the end of the matter there would be a definite strain between us. Not just that, these best friends and I lacked understanding, but that we were devoid of maturity.

Which each new friend, I only learnt that I'm not a person who has an ability to sustain a relationship. Yet, again time taught me that it's not *me* but *us*. My friends were equally to be blamed for fading down relationships. But then my series of realisations came to a more convincing halt when I noticed people around. It's not just about me. It's the entire life around. Relationships are mostly transient. And then I realised it's not us, It's the generation.

So, to my latest best friend - All the Best to us😉. If we ever come to a situation of fading apart, blame not me but the time!
Nevertheless, you shall live in my memories forever just like all others.
