"And that’s how it goes, Kids. The friends, neighbors, drinking buddies and partners in crime you love so much when you’re young, as the years go by, you just lose touch.You will be shocked, Kids, when you discover how easy it is in life to part ways with people forever.That’s why when you find someone you want to keep around, you do something about it."

[Ted Mosby – How I Met Your Mother S09x21]

Those lines of words got me thinking of each person that has existed in my life. How long I’ve known them. The ones who stay.. The ones who left…

As I list every friendship/relationship I’ve had, it occurs to me that I’m so blessed to be surrounded by some of the best people on earth. And surprisingly, I manage to keep many of those relationships. Teman SD, SMP, SMA, kuliah and even colleagues from work that I consider now as my new brothers and sisters.

And I’m planning to keep them around for a long long time. J

Sure, some of the most personal relationships didn’t work out and I let it go. Though I’ve to admit that I work so hard to keep the last one. I got myself thinking that we can’t make people stay if they don’t have any guts to stay. But then, I rethink again, as quoted from Mosby himself that, when you find someone you want to keep around, you do something about it. So, I think it's clear now why I keep him around my nerves after all..

Humans don’t have so much time on earth. To make it even enough would be a miracle. Some people call it joy when they can have it spent with their loved ones. And as you’re getting older you would find your time is too precious to waste it with things you don’t like, or to even pretend.
