Life will always throw you curveballs. That is a constant that can never change. So the most you can do is to prepare yourself for when shit hits the fan. Some of you may say that I am cynical but I believe that I am just being realistic. Which is why people who are constantly smiling are liars! But that is a discussion for another day.
What I wanted to tell you is that since things won't go your way most of the time, it is vital that you surround yourself with positive people, who have your best interests at heart. Misery loves company after all and why torture yourself by being around negative-soul-sapping individuals. They'll make you feel worse and not provide you with the moral support and encouragement which you need to help you pull through your trying moments.
Which is why I am thankful that I have my NIE mates. It's been 6-7 years since we've graduated but we're still close albeit not meeting up that often. Each meet up, however rare, truly brings me such joy which words cannot describe. That says a lot, coming from a language person.
True friends do not judge but are forgiving, accepting and compassionate. Most importantly, true friends are loyal. They are my true friends and I love them with all my heart.
