Hello there, Thank you for taking the time to read this simple story. I wanted to share this recent experience of mine. You see in group of friends I was usually the one who gives, I'd cheer them up when they're sad, I'd be there shoulder to cry on when they feel hopeless I would even take the time to  buy the stuff they want whenever they feel wary. 

Unfortunately changes in people are inevitable. You can never tell when they will stay or not. People change and that will always happen. As I grow older my friends list began to decline but for me it was okay. Until it wasn't , I decided to create a mask that hides my longing to have a good friend who would cheer me up when I'm the one whose sad, who would be my crying shoulder when I feel hopeless and would go out of their way to buy me simple things that will surely enlighten my mood. 

One day I was talking to a friend and I wasn't really feeling particularly good that day so I tried and hide it so my friend won't worry.  When we're done talking she left and I just stayed where I was. Hours later she came back with muffins on her hand and a big bottle of my favorite soda. "I noticed you were feeling off today so I decided to cheer you up. I'm happy to listen to your problems you know? you can count on me" was what she said and those words... those simple words made me cry and I was so happy. After years of being that "good" friend I was given the chance to be comforted. I never thought that it would be her because we only know each other for a few months 

She playfully smacked my arm because I was crying and I told her because the muffins we're so delicious. We had a good laugh and I was blessed to have met her.
