Often i wonder to myself how some people are lucky to have many friends that care for them around.
Recently, i saw someone post a depressed statement about herself and her failures. Perhaps it could be because she has been climbing up high for a while and once failure sets in, and they don't ever seem to meet ur expectations, you start to feel lousy and feel as though you have lost focused and the whole comes crashing down.
I know how she feels. I can empathize with her.
And in some way, i envy her. Of course its not because of her downfalls. But because of the amount of support she got from her friends after what she had typed. So many messages then streamed in in encouragement, telling her not to be detered and to grow stronger.
I'm envious of the number of good friends and even acquaintances who bothered to type a short note to her to tell her that they all look up and admire her. In some way, i wish i had that kind of support. But perhaps, i think to myself, i might just not be so deserving of it. Maybe i am not humane enough to garner such friends. Or maybe, i don't have friends who will care.
I don't know.
But i'm envious. I wish i had friends like her. I wish that sometime someday, if i was feeling low, there can be more people there to hold my hand and guide me along through the darkness when i needed it the most.
But i'm glad i still have someone who constantly cares for me, and a supportive family. Perhaps sometimes, many things don't go your way. But, to the others out there, be glad that you have friends that bother and care about how you feel. Be glad that your friends don't just use you for notes, for projects, for favours. Be glad because there are still people like me out here, feeling envious of you.
And yes, i'm so envious of u.
