Today marks the true beginning of 2017 for me.. the new year! This day felt like the true beginning because today one ritual made another one look utterly futile in comparison. It's not that I live a life with only a few rituals but I do make an attempt to have logical and relevant reasons behind the actions I practice. The ritual I am referring to is the one where I get to meet a genuine friend of mine. It so happens that we meet properly for about 2 to 3 hours about once or twice in a year. These moments seem to fly by so quick but remain as precious memories that I hope stay with me for the rest of my life because they are the source of all the energy I tap into when I try to drive myself forward in all my endeavours. A true, genuine friendship is the most rare thing in this world in my opinion. It has the strength to be the foundation and enhance any relationship to a new level altogether. A bond that allows you to celebrate each other's successes and smoothen out issues that lie as wrinkles in your paths. Among those two boundaries, a whole spectrum of interactions exist on which trust, self-esteem, self-respect, and genuine inspiration emanates endlessly. I wish everyone gets the chance to experience such a friendship and when you do, be a little selfish and try your best to hold on to them. And just like that, the age old ritual of watching the clock strike the midnight hour is rendered useless in light of meeting a friend who knows how to illuminate my mind with positivity and goodness in one way or another. Thank you for being a constant in my changing life. You know who you are and I wish to see you soon and all the very best for your future endeavours!
