F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

Great time with Weizhu again. After several times moaning to him, it's so nice to just talk and chill about random stuff once again. I think this fun happens when I get my mind off my worries about tomorrow and just, well, enjoy the time together. That's why it's called the present. :)

Nice to walk around his old childhood block with him and listen to him share about his past too.

Think that's one of the joys of friendship - not just to support or comfort, but to also laugh together. I think I'm moving on from enjoying friendships that have things in common to just enjoying the other person for who he/she is. Not about the person meeting up to a set of ideals, but just as God enjoys that person for who he/she is.

Love God with all you have and all that is in you, and love your neighbor as yourself.

Think these two greatest commandments are a powerful recipe for building great friendships that transcends all sorts of barriers - and takes away the stress and obligation of trying to please everyone too.

Sent some feedback to another dear friend a couple of days ago. She misunderstood where I was coming from, and got so angry at it. Thank God I had anticipated it, and explained to her that she didn't have to change her response to me at all. Just for her info, that's all.

She went orhhhh...

But yes, she explained in turn why she had done what she did as well, which she intentionally meant to show her care as a friend.

I then went orhhhh...

Lol. But yes. It's so important to accept friends for who they are at present, even while spurring one another on towards love and good deeds.

Just as Peter told me before: "True friendship means you can be yourself before the other person, and don't need to hide!"

:))) thank God for him!!!
