Every hello ends with a goodbye

When they say they're going to kick someone out, they ain't joking. A good friend of mine was forced to leave us just last week, and that, dear readers, is the proof for my statement. I can imagine what's it like for him, to be watching his future hanging without a thread, because for some stupid reason, nobody's helping him to secure any places in other unis. He had wasted one solid year learning something that we know for now will never be a good use for him.

But i am sure that this is not the end for him. God should have a better plan, He always had. Maybe there's a hikmah hidden somewhere between this. And i am not trying to sound poyo, but it's true what they say that learning is a process of life. Every second of you learning is definitely not a waste of time. So fret not dear friend, for the past year of you learning a whole another language and subjects you might not be taking after this might come in handy some day. Just treasure the knowledge, and i'm sure you'll be fine.

This is not the first friend that i had who's going through the same problem. There were two before, but look at them now. Clearly they didn't end up sleeping in the streets or whatsoever. They managed, and now they're just as successful as everyone else.

So you see, everyone's got chances. You just have to keep looking until you find it. And one failure obviously doesn't mean a thing, because without failure you can never achieve.

Me and him, we used to share our interests towards cartoons, music and even books. And that one ultimate memory with him i know i'll be remembering is when we used to play guitar and sing together. Well, he played, i sang. Now every time i listen to Kina Grannis' Valentine, his name'll definitely popped in my head.

But somehow this friendship of ours didn't last. Even when he was about to leave, things between us was not so great. I don't know where and what went wrong, but something did happened. I'm sure it was all just a misunderstanding, but i am dissapointed that he actually listened to what people had to say without solid proof.

I was planning on writing more about the times we had together as good friends. Kinda like a special tribute post of him.

But then he left without saying a proper good bye.

Maybe you mean more to me than i mean to you. Life's a bitch, i accept that now.
