Tight!

Similar to the amount of luck a person has in a lifetime, the heat that a friendship can conduct is also fixed. Say, if the luck a person has in his/her lifetime is worth the amount of wax in a candle, the luck will be spent when the candle burns out. Likewise, a friendship that starts off cold may gradually heat up after a while and keep on burning and one that starts off bright may just burn out and die more quickly. That's if my belief is true, that every friendship has a similar amount of heat to be exhausted. This is what normally happens to me anyway. Friends that become close tend to drift away after a while. Weird, but it happens. Sometimes, after the incident, I'll be left wondering how friends who used to be so close can cease contact so suddenly. Guess the saying 快热快冷 is true. Some friends whom I never expected to become better friends somehow become better friends. Some start off as thorns in the flesh, some you feel nothing much for, but such friendships grow stronger through time. Weird too, but again, it happens. Take for example, Vivis, my best secondary school friend, Ying, my best JC friend, Zhenqin, Jiayi and Jason, the irritating beach volleyball setter. Some people are just not worth my time. Those whom I spend less effort on end up being the ones who spend more effort on me. Like, they will care to tell me what's been happening to them, blahblahblah. Friends whom I thought I was going to keep sometimes just appear to not give a damn. Guess it's like shopping. Go without intention of buying and you will buy. Go with what you want in mind and you will fail to find what you want. I've learnt enough. I don't find it a pity when I lose these bright-from-the-start friends. In a way, I know now that this kind of friends will not stay for long, so I tell myself not to care too much for them from the start. Hi and bye lor! Practical and unfeeling? Maybe, but most of it is being realistic. Typical of the Capricorn. Ok, zodiac analysis is crap, but this part of the Capricorn is true in some way, I feel. Anyway, the friendships I have now with my friends are no longer candles. 'Cause I know they won't cease to burn. So, Hanxiang's friends, if still in doubt, stop doubting!
