Hello, hello, welcome again to my little corner on the internet. How are you doing? i hope the reply is a positive one despite everything going on in this wonderful country of ours. Anyhoo, let’s get to it now. I’m sure most of you reading this know that song by spyro talking about who’s your guy and never leaving your side.
When I first heard this song, besides the catchy tune that drew me in, the lyrics and how I chose to interpret the song is another thing that made me really like the song, This has made me think about friendship and companionship as a whole.
From the beginning beginning, God himself knew that in this journey of life, we probably cannot do it alone which is why he gave Adam Eve so he won’t be left alone and instead he had someone by his side but before you exit this thinking I’m here to talk about love or romance, please calm down, that’s not the direction I am going. As the song further goes on, it talks about never leaving “his guy’s” side and how bad energy should stay away when your guy is near. Friendship and having someone is one of the upsides to life in my opinion, especially a good one that has been with you for a very long time.
For some this is an easy feat. Making friends to them is as easy as breathing, while for others this can pose as a challenge for many many reasons. Truly, no man is an island even for some who feel like they would rather go through life alone for one reason or the other, there’s nothing as amazing as having certain humans you can count out.
Good ones are worth holding on too especially when challenges come and they will come, your yard people (this is what I call mine), will have your back.
The downside to this is friendship breakups- this hurts as much as heartbreak(the romance kind) especially after pouring so much into someone and coming out empty or worse betrayed by the person you thought was your guy, but you know you win some and lose some.
And in every friendship group there’s one that’s the moral compass, the weird one, the extrovert, the one that says fuck it before every bad decision, the blunt one, K-drama addicted one lol. I’m sure if you look back and think about all the friends you’ve made throughout your life from nursery till now, the ones that stuck around and the ones that have the potential to stick around even longer make life just a little sweeter and a little less bleak.
What’s even better is finding that one person that is feels familiar yet so different from you like “beans and rice”(elite combo), so while it’s good trying to find the love of your life (las las), just make sure you give enough energy to nurturing your friendships. Because when that heartbreak comes, trust them to gather round and give you that support, don’t let that boat sink if it’s worth saving but if it’s not make sure to abandon ship!!!
