Friends are illusions!
"YOU HAVE TO
THROW AWAY SOMETHING
TO GET SOMETHING."
-Basco Ta Jorokia
Friends don't always stay by your side.
The friends that you consider might just be an illusion.
You'll never know, unexpected people around you might be the real ones. Someone you'll never expect to help you and to get along with in a once in a lifetime journey. Someone you'll never expect to understand you more. Someone who will show you more concern. Someone who will make you feel okay.
Well, it's pretty much understood that life in a game. I suddenly remembered a quote sent to me by a friend turned enemy turned friend again some years ago... It's not what exactly the one sent to me but somehow like this: "People ask me why I don't look back when my friends left me. I just simply answered: Because I wanted to see who will walk with me 'til the end." And as far as I could understand, people who walk with you along the way without leaving your side figuratively, will the ones who are true to you and will stay as your friend forever.
As what you've read, this is an experience that made me realize that not all people around you, rather, not all your friends treat you the same. I could say that the people whom I am currently with are maybe or may become illusions too but the way we do things so far made us closer.
Doing something on your own is not bad, but the aura that emits is negative and it is called selfishness. I am selfish at times but not on a very important event. You wanted to pass but you wanted to do it on your own? You do your thing! But the the fact that a simple question of "Have you already got this or that?" (Well, that's something everyone's required to have) is something that we don't need to be selfish of...
We're all struggling. We're all doing what we can. We're all doing this for our own future. Well, at least be one. That's all I ask for.
"I can't believe that you're a kind of friend that I have.
Now I understand what Marvelous and Sally feels."
I can't believe I'm going back to my evil self again. Well, I'm a gedou "slash" akuma so it's all the same.
"Loyalty... Comrades... Friendship...
Very convenient words.
But in the end, they're all illusions!
Nothing but a fleeting emotion."
