Straight From Within Ep.14: Friends are there to keep us company – through the good times and the bad times. We like sharing stories and opinions with them. But sometimes, we’ll just realize that we are learning from them – not actually from their friendly advices, but from their experiences.

It is common for friends to share their problems and secrets. It is a way of releasing those unwanted feelings, as well as a way of getting the comfort that they want from their friends. In return, those who listened also got lessons from their friend.

It was a usual night for me and some of my friends last Saturday night. We attended an anticipated mass, ate dinner together, and shared stories. We came to a point where we were already talking about some serious matters until a friend shared some sort of family problem. He might not know this but until now, I am still thinking about the conversation we had. I learned from his story.

I am the type of person who cannot control spending whenever I have money, though it lessened when I started to work. But I think it was just okay because I earned my money, and I think it is just fine if I spend it on the things I want, but of course, I still limit myself. Actually, my way of thinking when I am depressed is to buy things that I want. But still, I want to lessen my spendings on unimportant things and just put my money on more important things.

It was getting late that’s why we decided to go home.

I have this plan for a few months now of coming up with a segment or whatsoever here in Rowjielogy called “Dekada” or “More Than A Decade Of Friendships”, where I want to feature my friends who have been with me for a decade or more than a decade now. I just hope I’ll have time to push through this plan.
