alrighty – this post is going to get extra steamy – so grab your cuppa cute mocha lattes and snuggle up because i’m going to be spilling some pippin’ hot pours in this blog post.
when i was 15, needless to say, i was bored with my life. as we all are once in a while and get to in the mid years of our teenage life when things are neither too chaotic, nor bland.
to me, the social media world was something fickle – you can find celebrities caught in red hot scandals, and even now, regular folk like ourselves causing dramatic stances you’d never have thought was possible. the point of this, well, point, is that everyone, even famous humans, have their own good and bad days. after a while, i get tired of the same old thing over and over again. this, you can trust me on; i was an avid watcher of the infamous reality tv series, keeping up with the kardashians. all 20 seasons with over 250 episodes, i’ve binged on and pondered over. you get hit with the fact once in a while that this is all a never ending loop.
now we move on to something that never changes on the internet, day in and day out.
humour.
yes i am indeed talking about the funny people existing on the worldwideweb, posting bits of nonsense here and there for whatever its worth. (come to think of it, it really indeed is, kind of worth it at the end)
apologies for dragging this on – i’m going to get to the main point now.
as i was saying before i rudely interrupted myself, i was a 15 year old bored girl when i discovered a platform known to everyone as Quora. it was at this point of my life where i believed that my fate had been sealed and i was summoned by some unseen force that this was my purpose and i shall forever hold my peace
for those who don’t know (because you’re living under a rock) – quora is a place to ask questions, and you get answers. if only life were that easy.
this qna system is very conditional and almost like a chance of luck. you can get mind-blowing, life revealing answers to your question, or crap ones that tell you to straight up, “deal with it”, “suck it up”, and “there’s really nothing you can do” (you may think i’m joking so this is your calling to pull up your big girl/boy pants and search this up, thank you)
the main point was that i went into this platform, and thought that i could offer some advice to these questioning folks. i happened to click on one question about friendship. now, i can’t tell you exactly what the question was, but the gist of the matter was, this questioner was having a difficulty dealing a problem with her friend, and she was seeking a solution to it in the midst of a dilemma.
me, being the angel here, posted a few answers to these said questions. one question became two, which became three, and on and on.
as we stand here today on the 17th of May 2022, i have many “answer requests” in my inbox that i have not yet attended to.
but we’re not here to brag about such things today. because i’m trying to bring a point across here, which is:
the makes and breaks of friendships.
although i would love to hear your opinions of this topic, this kinda is my blog. so i get to talk about myself. and as such i will be doing so (winky face).
life has many ups and downs, just as much as many friends in our lives come and go. i went to an all-catholic girls school in my middle school days, and it proved to me that the best kinds of friendships are the ones that stay, because a-lot of the time, we think that its better to have acquaintances with people who make you feel good about yourself and unreal.
its kinda the standoff-ish point for knowing that you just want to live a movie life of the main character in a romance film that hasn’t debuted just yet.
i’ve come across a good number of people to know that my closest friend are ones that are honest, reasonable, heartfelt, true, and pure (at least, in the emotions and intentions part)
fights and arguments aside, real friends wouldn’t expect you to do things you’re not comfortable with. or make you go out of convenience at their comfort. one of the questions i answered, believe or not, was:
“Do I have to text my friends every day for them to be considered a friend?“
i mean come on, are you being serious right now? i don’t even remember to check delivery updates when their near my block for my burger and fries. (thank you, my knights in shining armour)
thanks for reading this post, and i hope everyone creates Quora accounts because you can get free entertainment and laughter that gives you a run for your funny bones.
all the 💜, ruri xx.
