When you have a friend to sit with

When Petroclus died, Achilles drowned in his own tears and killed Hector with an enormous rage. The next morning he didn’t wear his armour and lead his great army to beat His enemy. Instead of attacking a grieving weak country, Achilles sat with a good friend, Odyseus…, shared nothing but simple and old memories, and from that innocent conversation between friends, they came up with a plan that lead them to a Great Victory and made their names as the Greatest War Heroes of all time.

I wish you to have someone to share, someone with ability to release your pain and sorrow with just seats there and listens to you…

I wish you to have the ability to embrace friendship and gain the honor of receiving your friend’s trust…

I wish you have the time to be a little kid again, to do unnecessary things or talk about nothing at all with a friend , laugh about stupid childhood events, to chuckle on stupids crazy sick jokes…

I wish you to cherish the innocent un-important conversations with your pal as one of your strength to acknowledge that a friend might never have the answers to your questions, but somehow…,sitting and talking with a friend could open your heart and clear your mind from clouds of doubts…

And maybe, you might find your answers from the simple and honest discussions that you’ve shared with a friend…

What a great feeling if you came to a certain moment when you see that all doors were closed, then you found an open getaway window with just having a moment with a FRIEND…
