Every Good Friend was Once a Stranger

When your looking for a friend don't look for perfection, just look for friendship, thats true enough to deal, The time I've been here in France, I am telling to myself, What are the differents between, friends, collegues and bestfriends here, How does thier culture will affect mine. Back home I have friends to call friend and friend to call just friends. I have family that I can call friends, and friends (workmate, churchmate and bestfriends) can call a family Being here for two years in time, It is hard for me to adjust and cope up with the new society. Yes, I have friends, but just an acquaintance. I've been missing badly the pieces of me, the nature of having a friend that can bring out the best of me.  Until one inccident happened.

It all started with mis- understanding. sharing stories from 
one to another, passing humors to humors until it exploded. I admit, I am part of it. Until I realize its not healthy anymore, Confrontation can help to clear things out. I am so much blessed that I handled my temper with grace and compassion at that very moment. There is a saying,  "No need to expalin yourself to others its not worth it" But, sometimes we need to do it, so people can understand and embace our weakness.  Explaining yourself to others, is not simply means your losing your dignity, it only prove that you are brave enough to admit your flaws and to clarify things out, SORRY and ADMITTING that you've hurted them as well are the best tool to heal those wounds. REACHING -OUT to someone significe that you crash down your pride. FORGIVENESS is the key to start a new chapter.All these things were applied.  Now, everything are well, but sadly there are people will walk in and out of your life. Some will remains  and you need to cherish because those are the people who are willing to embrace the real you.

 Being far with your "family and friends" and start a new life in other country is so DIFFICULT, all you can do is to sway with the culture and find a REAL friends that you can call your own FAMLY
Thanking God, is all I can do. Bringing these FRIENDS in our lives  God gave me the best thing I deserved in life. Being with these people help me grow as a HUMAN and to be MATURED as a wife. To CONFIDENCE/COURAGE exploring my new life here. Thank you!   We are all strangers but we compliment each other, its not base how long we known each other, but how we accept each others.  

"Friendships are fragile things and require as much care in handling" I can guarantee, I know how to VALUE it. Thats the least that I can do.  In a short period of time, you guys bring out the best in me" At the years goes by as friendship grows, it will be good as a taste of "WINE"
