they say that its harder to make friends as we age. why is that so? is it because, throughout the course of our life we all become more suspicious, more pessimistic, and less open?

is it the experiences of our life that shapes us to become cold creatures, unresponsive to the goodwill of others? that we simply lose patience with the unfamiliar?

i dunno.

while we were all more accepting as youngsters, we now form our own impressions of other people before giving them a chance to prove themselves. while i suppose most assumptions are correct, nevertheless why cant we go through life with the heart of an innocent child?

perhaps we know too much. and perhaps they do, too.

all i can say that im oh so very thankful for the friendship ive found, 4 years ago, in 2 particular persons.

you guys know who you are!!! =)

genting, anyone?
