friendship is a fancy term for allowing people to officially use you without consent and consequence: a 5 days to 23 entry / onitsha living diaries 24.

friendship is bliss.
friendship is stress too.
lemme explain.
you are with your friends when they mourn.
you are with your friends when they're joyous.
in either of this occasions, you might not be feeling upto it.
but you'll just have to feel whatever it is they are feeling.
in this season, i am neutral, no joy, no sadness, just neutral.
i am caught up in the midst of two events.
each with its own dose of different emotions.
a funeral.
a wedding.
all happening just a day apart.
and each of this friends are in their feelings about it.
and i'm loyally in the same feelings with them too.
consoling and crying today.
hyping and laughing the next.
and it goes on.
i an stretched to my limits, and even my emotions are confused.
but i still feel like i've not done enough.
i just want to sleep and sleep and sleep and not wake up till of this is over.
but, I have to wake up, to be there for my friends.
the ones i love - in stress and in bliss.
i hope we all find people that'll do the same for us.

ok bye!
it's debbie.
