I had my graduation ceremony yesterday. While I hate to admit this, I am kind of glad I went. I am glad mainly because I was able to see my friends again, and it made me realise I was never alone throughout the journey to becoming a nurse, and more importantly; my journey to maturity.
During these two years, I have made some really tight bonds with my friends. I've become so close to them that, ironically I am a little scared. I once had invested my hopes and faith in classmates in the past; and I still do not regret it, as I had the best time of my life with them. I was able to exert my childishness and my real self without any fear of repercussions. However, time has passed and I have lost contact with these old friends. Perhaps it was I who made the choice, as I felt I really needed to progress forward with my life and start supporting my family instead of selfishly satisfy my lust for fun. It took me alot of hardship to separate myself from those old classmates but I did it with the support of other extrinsic factors.
I am now faced with a similar matter. I have new friends now who I have developed close bonds with. However the situation is alot different, as I am working now and the things we play with now are alot more productive and more socially acceptible. Should I continue these close bonds and risk having to lose them again or should I distance myself from the inevitable breakup in the friendship?
